‘Just think, he saved all our lives.’” Kipling writes this on page 244 and shows that the mom knew that Rikki-tikki saved them and was very brave to do so. On page 238, Kipling shows that even when Rikki-tikki had just won a battle against Nag, he knew that he couldn’t rest until he settled everything with Nagaina. He shows this by writing, “When morning came he was very stiff, but well pleased with his doings. ‘Now I have Nagaina to settle with.’” Finally, on page 241, Kipling writes, “Rikki-tikki put his paws one on each side of the egg, and his eyes were blood-red. ‘What price for a snake’s egg?’” This shows that Rikki-tikki was clever and smart to save one of the eggs so he could trade a life for a life and save the family. In conclusion, while showing intelligence and cleverness, Rikki-tikki was brave to defeat Nag and Nagaina and has a right to be proud of
