     ONCE a farmer and his wife lived in a village with their small son. They loved him very much. “We must have a pet,” the farmer said to his wife one day. “When our son grows up, he will need a companion. This pet will be our son’s companion.” His wife liked the idea.
 
     One evening, the farmer brought with him a tiny mongoose. “It’s a baby mongoose,” said his wife, “but will soon be fully grown. He will be a friend to our son.”
 
     Both the baby and the mongoose grew. In five or six months the mongoose had grown to its full size — a lovely animal with two shining black eyes and a bushy tail. The farmer’s son was still a baby in the cradle, sleeping and crying alternately.

Within five to six months, the mongoose had grown to its full size. While the boy was still a baby in the cradle, the mongoose became a loving pet in the farmers' house. Moreover, the adult mongoose looked so beautiful with shining black eyes and cute thick tail. While, the baby boy cried and slept repeatedly.
