THOUGHTLESS ACTION Kunchika asked :
“Munijee ! What was done by Devi, the wife of the thief ? Please tell me fully.”
Muni : There lived one thief named Veer in the kingdom, Magadh. The name of his wife was Devi. Now, in their house, a female-mungoose gave birth to a young one. Devi nourished and tamed that one. After some months, Devi also gave birth to a son. The son began to grow and he used to play with the small mungonose.
Once, the son of Devi was sleeping. The baby-mungoose was sitting near his bed. Devi had gone to the village well. for fetching water. At that time, one serpent came and began to bite the boy. The mungoose killed the snake into pieces.
