Mongoose Parable #4

The charmer reappeared suddenly in his usual fashion, with turtledove and cobra. His eyes glowed again, mesmerizing. The house project was started and the bricklayers and foundation pourers were present to assist. They came in dark sunglasses and protective clothing because the sun was much too bright. Meanwhile, The charmer and the mongoose tended to the surrounding landscape. They called on the charmer to lay the strategic bricks while they mixed and laid the mortar. The work was tiresome but necessary. At the end of the day they all fell into a deep sleep induced by the Mongoose, who tickled the noses, so it could return to its incessant scribbling.
