"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.

The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.

Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.

The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]

Explanation:

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story written by Rudyard Kipling. The story is about a young mongoose, who combats with Nag and his wife, Nagina and defeat them successfully.

In the story, when Rikki-Tikki-Tavi asks Darzee for help, Darzee, being too feather-brained hesitate to do it. Darzee's wife knew that Nag's eggs would mean more snakes in the garden, so she quickly flung herself before Nagina feigning her injury on the wings. Though it was a mistake by Darzee's wife but it helped Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to defeat the snake family.

The result of this mistake was that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was able to destroy Nagina's egg and present a choice before her either to choose her baby or hurt Teddy.

This move helped Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to kill Nagina and her family.
