The story of the Mongoose and the Cobra. There was a grandmother, before going out to the rice field, she left her grandchild in a small basin at the terrace with a mongoose. Later, a cobra with 9 handful dimension and 7 va (one va equals to 2 metres) long came up and bit the child to death. The mongoose later bit the snake to death and put the snake on the grandmother's bed. When the old woman came back and saw her dead grandchild, she thought the mongoose bit her grandchild to death. She killed the mongoose. She then went to her bed, she saw a dead snake. Thinking it was a snake biting his grandchild, and the mongoose bit the snake to death. She felt sorry because she lacked of consideration, and talked to herself that that one dies and then two dies.This story teaches us that a lack of careful consideration leads to disaster.
