Nagaina is dead ! Ding-dong-tock ! '' That set all the birds in the garden singing , and the frogs croaking , for Nag and Nagaina used to eat frogs as well as little birds . When Rikki got to the house , Teddy and Teddy 's mother -LRB- she looked very white still , for she had been fainting -RRB- and Teddy 's father came out and almost cried over him ; and that night he ate all that was given him till he could eat no more , and went to bed on Teddy 's shoulder , where Teddy 's mother saw him when she came to look late at night . `` He saved our lives and Teddy 's life , '' she said to her husband . `` Just think , he saved all our lives . '' Rikki-tikki woke up with a jump , for the mongooses are light sleepers . `` Oh , it 's you , '' said he . `` What are you bothering for ? All the cobras are dead . And if they were n't , I 'm here . '' Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself . But he did not grow too proud , and he kept that garden as a mongoose should keep it , with tooth and jump and spring and bite , till never a cobra dared show its head inside the walls . Darzee 's Chant -LRB- Sung in honor of Rikki-tikki-tavi -RRB- Singer and tailor am I -- Doubled the joys that I know -- Proud of my lilt to the sky , Proud of the house that I sew -- Over and under , so weave I my music -- so weave I the house that I sew . Sing to your fledglings again , Mother , oh lift up your head ! Evil that plagued us is slain , Death in the garden lies dead . Terror that hid in the roses is impotent -- flung on the dung-hill and dead ! Who has delivered us , who ? Tell me his nest and his name . Rikki , the valiant , the true , Tikki , with eyeballs of flame , Rikk-tikki-tikki , the ivory-fanged , the hunter with eyeballs of flame !
