HLP Read this excerpt from "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling.

Rikki-tikki knew better than to waste time in staring. He jumped up in the air as high as he could go, and just under him whizzed by the head of Nagaina, Nag's wicked wife. She had crept up behind him as he was talking, to make an end of him; and he heard her savage hiss as the stroke missed.

What is the best way to paraphrase this section of the story?

She had crept up behind him as he was talking, to make an end of him; and he heard her savage hiss as the stroke missed.
Darzee tried to warn Rikki-tikki, but he was too late. The cobras crept up behind him and waited for him to let down his guard.
Now that Rikki-tikki had defeated the cobras yet again, they were really angry. Rikki-tikki knew he was in for some trouble.
Rikki-tikki leapt over the head of Nag’s evil wife, who had snuck up behind him to try to kill him.
