What is the best paraphrase of this excerpt from “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling?

Teddy's mother picked him up from the dust and hugged him, crying that he had saved Teddy from death, and Teddy's father said that he was a providence, and Teddy looked on with big scared eyes. Rikki-tikki was rather amused at all the fuss, which, of course, he did not understand.

Teddy was covered in dust, so his mother picked him up, brought him in the house, and started running a bath. Teddy looked at her with terror in his eyes. He was scared of the water.

Teddy’s mother and father felt like the luckiest parents in the world, which Rikki did not understand.
