The Friendly Mongoose

ONCE a farmer and his wife lived in a village with their small son.

The farmer’s son was still a baby in the cradle, sleeping and crying alternately. One day, the farmer’s wife wanted to go to the market. She fed the baby and rocked him to sleep in his little cradle. Picking up the basket, she said to her husband, “I’m off to the bazaar. The baby is sleeping. Keep an eye on him. Frankly, I don’t like to leave the child alone with the mongoose.”
