Rikki-tikki new he could kill him he needed the right time. He had to eat not a whole meal he needs to stay skinny. For his strike it was "Rikk-tikk-tikki-tikki-tchk!" He was ready for him. He did not want him to be in the garden.
He was going to search around the garden all over he could not find him. Rikki-tikki could not find him but he found a snake.
A snake that was just as bad as a cobra. Rikki-tikki was fighting the snake and he saved ted from the snake and he was ok.
