    The mongoose and
    the farmers wife
    Once upon a time there lives a farmer and his wife.
    They had a new born son. The farmers wife wanted
    to have a pet animal to protect the child which
    would also be a companion to the child. They
    debated and decided upon a mongoose. So they
    bought a mongoose and Started rearing it. A
    couple of months later, one day the farmer and his
    wife wanted to go out of the house leaving the
    child at home. The farmer thought that the
    mongoose would take care of the child while they
    were away. So they left the mongoose and the
    child at home and went out.
    The farmer's wife returned earlier and on returning home
    found that the mouth of the mongoose was stained with blood
    and she immediately inferred that the mongoose had killed
    the child. In anger she threw a box on the mongoose and the
    mongoose was hurt badly. She then rushed inside to see what
    happened to the child. She was surprised to find a dead snake
    lying in the room. She could infer that the mongoose had
    saved the child's life by killing the snake. Realising the mistake
    she went out of the room only to find the mongoose dead on
    the floor. She cried out loud at her hasty action.
