A brahmin, his wife, and his baby boy lived in a small village. They had a pet mongoose that lived with them. One day, when the brahmin was out of chores, his wife left the baby in the cradle and went to fetch a pot of water. She asked the mongoose to take care of the baby while she is away. As the mongoose guarded the baby, it saw a snake crawling into the house. It soon attacked the snake and killed it.
As soon as the brahmin’s wife entered with the pot of water, the mongoose happily welcomed her with blood all over it mouth. The lady was terrified at the sight and assumed that the mongoose had killed the baby. Furious, the lady dropped the pot of water on the mongoose and beat it to death with a stick. Then she went inside and found the baby happily playing in the cradle. The lady realized what she had done and repented for acting without thought.

They spent most of their time chatting or playing by the lake side.One day, a hunter came to the forest and laid the trap behind the bush near the lake. The deer happened to be returning from the lake. He stepped on that trap and was caught in it. He cried out with pain. The deer called his friends and cried. “I have been trapped. Please, come and help me!”
Hearing his cries for help, the woodpecker and the tortoise rushed to help his dear friend. They were horrified to see the trap. Soon, they thought of a plan. The tortoise went and called the mouse that lived in a nearby hole. The mouse and the tortoise started cutting the trap.
In the meantime, the woodpecker flew to the hunter’s camp. The hunter was just coming out of his tent. He had heard the cries of the deer and was anxious to catch him. The woodpecker acted quickly and sat on his head. He pecked twice on his head. The woodpecker pecked him so badly that the hunter cried out in pain and went back to his camp to take test. The woodpecker’s purpose was solved. He flew back to the deer.By then, the mouse and the tortoise had cut and opened the trap and the deer was free. They hugged each other and promised to help each other in their bad times. The three friends were united again and lived happily in the forest. to read. Four Friends story.
