THE FAITHFUL MONGOOSE #Inspirational Moral Stories
A young
husband and wife, Indi and Lavea, took turns to look after their dear
baby
boy. They had a pet mongoose. One day, Lavea went down to the river,
leaving
the baby with his father. Shortly after, a royal messenger came to
summon
Indi to the palace. Indi left the baby boy in the care of their
mongoose,
a creature that is unafraid of snakes. The mongoose sat beside the
infant’s
cot. A huge python suddenly came in through the window. The alert
mongoose
killed it!
On his
return, Indi first saw the mongoose, whose mouth and paws were
soaked
in blood. Fearing the worst, he began beating the mongoose! When he
had
given up on the mongoose and entered the house, he saw that his child
was
peacefully asleep, while a dead python lay beside its cot. Indi was filled
with
remorse for having doubted the faithful animal. The young parents
began to
treat the loyal mongoose with more love and care.
