Answer: A mongoose named Rikki-tikki-tavi washes up on the doorstep of an English family's bungalow in Segowlee after a severe flood, and the family rescues him. Rikki-tikki becomes their pet mongoose, and he proceeds to look around the garden, where he meets the two menacing cobras named Nag and Nagaina.
