As Norman Schwarzkopf once said, “True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.” “Angry as he was, Rikki-tikki was frightened as he saw the size of the big cobra.” “Rikki-tikki held on with his eyes shut, for now he was quite sure he was dead; but the head did not move, and the big man picked him up and said: “It’s the mongoose again, Alice; the little chap has saved our lives now.” Do you have the courage to stand up for someone? For this reason, Norman Schwarzkopf and Rikki-tikki demonstrated in these quotes that great deeds can’t be stopped by fear if you have the courage to face it.

Moreover, “Rikki-tikki forgot about the and it still lay on the veranda, and Nagaina came nearer and nearer to it, till at last, while Rikki-tikki was drawing breath, she caught it in her mouth, turned to the veranda steps, and flew like an arrow down the path, with Rikki-tikki behind her.” This entails that, Nagaina was being sneaky by scurrying to the veranda to save her last surviving egg without getting caught by Rikki-tikki because she devoted to her last remaining egg and was trying to protect it.
