Rikki Tikki Tavi

Geschrieben von Rudyard Kipling

Erzählt von Karlheinz Gabor

Ein Mungo war Rikki – nach Pelz und buschiger Rute glich er fast einer Katze, doch Kopf und Art waren die eines Wiesels. Seine Augen und die immer bewegliche Nase schimmerten rosig; leicht konnte er sich am ganzen Körper kratzen und putzen und dabei ganz nach Belieben einen seiner Läufe benutzen. Seine Rute konnte er aufplustern, dass sie wie eine Flaschenbürste aussah; und wenn er durch das hohe Gras schnürte, ließ er seinen pfeifenden Schlachtruf ertönen: Rikki-Tikki-Tikki-Tschick!

Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.
