Write five questions for an interview with Rikki-tikki-tavi
about the events of this passage.
Rikki-tikki's eyes grew red again, and he danced up
to Karait with the peculiar rocking, swaying motion that
he had inherited from his family. It looks very funny, but
it is so perfectly balanced a gait that you can fly off from it
at any angle you please; and in dealing with snakes this is
an advantage. If Rikki-tikki had only known, he was
doing a much more dangerous thing than fighting Nag,
for Karait is so small, and can turn so quickly, that unless
Rikki bit him close to the back of the head, he would get
the return-stroke in his eye or lip. But Rikki did not
know: his eyes were all red, and he rocked back and forth,
looking for a good place to hold. Karait struck out. Rikki
jumped sideways and tried to run in, but the wicked little
dusty gray head lashed within a fraction of his shoulder,
and he had to jump over the body, and the head followed
his heels close.
