It was late
afternoon. Father Wolf awoke from his sleep, yawned and stretched his
legs. He pushed out his claws and looked at them.They were sharp
and clean. It was time to go hunting for food. Mother Wolf sat
watching her four cubs playing and rumbling around her.
Suddenly,
her ears stood up and she stretched her neck. She could hear the
leaves of a bush rustling.
She asked Father
Wolf, “What is there?”
Father Wolf
went to the mouth of the cave and looked out. From between the
leaves, he could see a naked baby boy crawling towards the cave,
laughing and shaking his curly head.
“Why, it’s
a man-cub!” he exclaimed.
“A man’s
cub? Bring him here. I have never seen a man-cub before,” said
Mother Wolf.
Father Wolf
gently picked up the child by the neck with his teeth. This was the
way he carried his own cubs. He put the child in front of her.
There were no teeth marks on the child’s neck. The child did not
struggle. He allowed Father Wolf to carry him. He was not afraid.
“He has
no hair! He is naked!” exclaimed Mother Wolf. “Look at him. He is
not afraid! He is pushing my cubs away to get my milk!”
Suddenly they
heard Shere Khan’s growl outside the cave.
“What
do you want?” asked Father Wolf.
“The
man-cub,” Shere Khan answered. “I saw him crawl this way.”
“Go
away. He is ours.”
“He
is mine. Give him to me.”
Mother Wolf
sprang up.
“The man-cub is
mine. He will live with us,” she said. “He shall not be killed. One
day he will hunt and kill you.”
Shere Khan knew
she would not give him the man-cub, and the cave was too small
for him to get into and take the cub away.
He
turned to go, but growled before he went saying, “He will be mine
one day.”
Mother Wolf
looked at the child fondly.
“I’ll
name him Mowgli. He is such a happy man-cub. Look at him playing
with our cubs!”
Mowgli
crawled up to her and lay down at her side. Mother Wolf smiled
and out her paw over him.

It
was the night of the full moon, when the wolf pack met at the
Council Rock. Akela, the leader of the pack, sat on the Rock and
watched the wolves bring their young cubs for inspection. This was
the Law. The older wolves were required to see each new cub, before
it became a member of the pack.
Mother
Wolf also brought her four cubs and Mowgli for inspection. She was
filled with anxiety. What would the pack say when they saw the
man-cub? Would they allow him into the pack?
Akela
said, “Look at the cubs carefully, O wolves.”
The
cubs were brought to the centre. One by one the older wolves came,
sniffed each one, looked carefully and then returned to their places.
“Look
well, O wolves,” repeated Akela.
Father
Wolf pushed Mowgli into the centre. Mother Wolf was very worried as
she looked on. Mowgli was laughing and rolling the stones he had
found. He was too busy playing to be afraid.
A
growl came from behind a rock. It was Shere Khan.“The cub is
mine,” he growled. “You are wolves. What will you do with a
man-cub?”
A
young wolf asked, “Why do we have a man-cub here? He is not one of
us.”
“I
know,” said Akela, “but if two of the pack speak for him, he may
stay.”
Father
and Mother Wolf looked around and waited. They were not allowed to
speak for him. No one spoke.
Suddenly
they heard a grunt. It was Baloo, the brown bear. He was the
teacher of the wolf cubs. He taught them the Laws of the Jungle.
He
said, “I speak for the man-cub. Let him be one of the pack. I
shall teach him.”
“But
we need one more,” said Akela.
A
soft voice purred. “I come as a friend, Akela.” It wasBagheera, the
black panther. “I speak for the man-cub. Let him stay, and I will
give you a fat bull that I have just killed.”
“A
fat bull, did you say?” asked the pack. They were always hungry. “Of
course the man-cub can stay!”
Shere
Khan was very angry. He gave a loud roar and returned to his lair.

Mowgli
spent a wonderful time among the wolves for ten whole summers. He
loved Father and Mother Wolf. They on turn loved him as one of
their cubs. Mother Wolf was very kind to him. She would often say,
“I love him more than any son of mine.”
Their
cubs were his brothers and they all played together. Mowgli was
really very happy.
Father
Wolf taught him many things about the jungle, its sounds and dangers.
Mowgli
roamed the jungle. He ate when he was hungry, slept when sleepy, and
swam in the jungle pool when he felt hot, or when he wanted to
wash himself.
Baloo
taught him the Laws of the Jungle and the Hunting Verse: “Feet that
make no noise, eyes that can see in the dark, ears that hear the
winds, and sharp white teeth, all these are the marks of our
brothers.”
Baloo
also taught him the Wood and Water Laws: how to tell when the
branch was rotten or strong before climbing it, how to speak politely
to the bees if he came upon a hive, and how to warn the water
snakes before he dived into pools and rivers.
Mowgli
as also taught the calls of all the creatures living in the jungle.
These would be of use to him when he was in danger and had to
seek their help.
Mowgli
often felt tired of learning so many things. Baloo made him repeat
everything. Sometimes, Mowgli would not listen to him. Then Baloo would
cuff him.
Bagherra
frequently sat on the branch of a tree and watched Baloo and
Mowgli. He loved the man-cub and called him Little Brother. So did Baloo.
One
day, when Baloo had cuffed him, Mowgli ran off and hid behind a
tree. He was very angry. Bagheera said to Baloo, ”Why do you cuff
him so much? He is very young.”
“Not
too young to get killed,” replied Baloo. “A cuff from me is better that
that, is it not?”
“A
soft cuff, yes, but just now you cuffed him straight over that rock!
You will kill him some day.”
“It
was a hard cuff, was it?” asked Baloo. He loved Mowgli. Had he really
hurt him?
“Mowgli,”
he called gently, “come and show Bagheera all the wonderful things
you have learnt.”
Mowgli
was never angry for long, and he loved to show off. He came out
from behind the tree and asked, ”What do you want to hear?”
“Say
the word for the Hunting People, the Bears.”
“We
be of one blood, you and I,” said Mowgli in the correct bear talk.
“And
for the Birds?”
Mowgli
let out a kite’s whistle.
|And
now for the Snake People.”
The
answer was a perfect hiss. Mowgli clapped his hands happily and
jumped on Bagheera’s back.

“See
how well Mowgli has learnt everything,” Baloo said to Bagheera.
“Without my cuffs, he would not have learnt. Now he does not have
to fear anybody.”
“Of
course, he has to,” replied Bagheera. “He must fear man, his own
tribe.”
Mowgli
was jumping on Bagheera’s back, pulling and pushing him. ”What is
the matter, Little Brother?” Bagheera asked.
“One
day I will have a tribe of my own,” Mowgli replied proudly. “I
shall be its leader. We will go from branch to branch and have a
wonderful time.”
Baloo
andBagheera were shocked.
“What
are you talking about?” asked Baloo, very angry.
Mowgli
was surprised. He looked at Bagheera and saw that he was angry too.
“Have
you been with the Bandar-log, the Monkey People?”
“The
Bandar-log are grey apes, who have no law and eat everything,” added
Baghera.
Mowgli
nodded his head.
He
said, “One day, when Baloo had cuffed me, I went into the jungle and
met the Bandar-log. They were very good to me and gave me nuts and
many other things to eat. They carried me from tree to tree. It was
wonderful. They said that I was their brother without a tail. They
even said that they would make me their leader one day.”
Baloo
was furious.
“They
are liars,” he said. “They have never had a leader and never will.
You are not to meet them again.”
“But
why not?” Mowgli wanted to know. “They were kind and good to me, and
have invited me to go with them again. They are like me - they stand
on their feet and use their hands to pluck nuts and fruit. They
really are very kind. I liked playing with them.”
“Listen
to me, man-cub,” said Baloo sternly. “I have taught you the laws of
the jungle and the calls of all the creatures that live here. The
only thing I have not taught you is about the Bandar-log. Why? It is
because they have no law and no call. They have no speech. They
chatter all the time, living on the branches. We, of the jungle, do
not go where they go, or drink water from the same waterhole. You,
too, will do the same.”
Mowgli
had never seen Baloo so angry. He was always kind. Mowgli knew that
he had not done the right thing, so he nodded. Suddenly nuts and
sticks hit them on their heads. Mowgli looked up and saw many
chattering monkeys swinging from the branch to branch.

The
Bandar-log were exactly as Baloo had said. They had no leader and no
speech. They lived on trees. The animals of the jungle lived on the
ground and they did not look up at them. They never met them and
kept away from them.
But
the Bandar-log had watched Mowgli. They had seen him weaving mats
with straw and sticks. They found that wonderful. They thought that
they could learn many things from him, and this would make them
wise. Then all the creatures of the jungle would take note of them
and envy them. They decided to carry him away and make him their
leader.
So
one day, when Mowgli was sleeping, the Bandar-log swooped down from
the trees and carried him off. Mowgli opened his eyes and found that
he was being carried away through the trees.
He
cried out aloud. Baloo and Bagheera woke up, and were horrified to
see the Bandar-log carry their Little Brother away.
Mowgli
was very angry with himself. He should have listened to Baloo and
kept away from these silly chattering monkeys. He felt dizzy as he
was swung from branch to branch and from tree to tree.
Mowgli
looked up and saw Chil, the kite, flying over him. He gave the kite
a call for help. Chil was surprised to hear the call and looked
down. He was even more surprised to hear a man-cub say the Master
Word.
Mowgli
called out to him, saying, “We are of one blood, you and I. Mark
my trail. Tell Baloo and Bagheera. Go quickly.”
“Who
are you, brother?” Chil asked.
“I
am Mowgli, the man-cub. Mark my trail.” He repeated, ”and hurry to
Baloo and Bagheera.”
The
monkeys carried him to the place the jungle creatures called the
Cold Lairs. It was an old, ruined city, with its walls crumbling down.
The monkeys lived here because there was a large water tank. No
jungle creature ever came here, so they had the water to
themselves.

Baloo andBagheera were filled with grief.
They had woken in time to see Mowgli being carried away.
“You should have warned him,” said Bagheera to
Baloo. “You have taught him many things, but not all. You did not
tell him about the silly chattering Bandar-log. They could drop him
while carrying him over the trees. He will surely die from such a
fall.”
Baloo was too full of grief to reply. Chil
spotted them as he flew over. He gave them Mowgli’s message.
“He knew the Master Word!” Chil exclaimed.
“What is the use?”wailed Baloo. “He may be dead
by now.”
“Do not be so full of grief, Baloo,” comforted
Bagheera. “The monkeys will be careful because they want him. Also,
the man-cub is wise and well-taught. But as long as he is with
them, he is not safe.”
“Oh, I am such a fat, stupid fool,” wailed
Baloo again. “But, Bagheera, the Bandar-log fear Kaa, the snake, because
he can climb trees, and he steels young monkey in the night.”
“What can he do? He cannot move fast, as he
has no feet.”
“He is a cunning old creature. Better still, he
is always hungry,” said Baloo. “Come, we’ll go and seek his help. If
he helps, we will promise him many goats.”
Both of them set off to look for Kaa. They
found him sunning himself. His new coat was shining in the sun. (A
snake sheds its skin when a new skin has formed inside)

Kaa
was a very big snake. Every creature in the jungle was afraid of
his strength. Once he caught an animal and got it in his coils, he
crushed it to death and then swallowed it.
Kaawas
hungry. He said, “Hello, Baloo and Bagheera. What are you doing here?
Have you any news of food for me? I am so hungry.”
“We
are hunting,” answered Baloo. He did not want Kaa to know that they
had come to seek his help. Kaa would never let them forget that.
“I’ll
come with you,” Kaa said eagerly. “The last time I climbed a tree,
it was dry and rotten and I nearly fell to my death. The
Bandar-log were there and they called me such bad names.”
“Oh,
the Bandar-log are shameless,” said Bagheera. “I once heard hem say
that you were old and had lost all your teeth.”
He
could see that Kaa was very angry. His long body wriggled in anger.
Baloo
decided to speak out. “Actually, it’s the Bandar-log we are following.”
“Why?”
“They
have taken away our man-cub.”
“Man-cub?I
have heard of him.”
“Yes,
Kaa.The man-cub. He is the wisest, the best and the boldest of my
pupils,” Baloo boasted. “And we love him very much. We call him our
Little Brother.”
“The
Bandar-log fear me,” said Kaa. “They are such chattering creatures.I
may be of help. Indeed, I am sure I can be of help. Where did
you say they had taken the man-cub?”
“To
the Cold Lairs. That is the message Chil gave us. I am going as
fast as I can,” said Bagheera, and then asked, “Kaa, will you come
with us?”
“Of
course, I will,” said Kaa, ready to set off. “And though I have no
feet, I can go as fast as you can.”
“Baloo,
you follow us,” said Bagheera.
Baloo
was big and heavy and could not move fast.

They
knew the place. It was an old city, lost and buried in the jungle.
The roofless palace was on the top of a hill. Broken walls of
temples and houses were scattered around.
The
monkeys liked this place because no jungle creature ever came here,
and there was awater tank. This was their drinking hole and their
bathing place, too. Hundreds of them lived here in the Cold Lairs.
The
Bandar-log brought Mowgli to this place. There was great rejoicing
when the other monkeys saw him. Now they could learn many things
from him and become wise.
Mowgli
was terrified to see so many monkeys, chattering around him. Some of
them were trying to snatch him, others were feeling his hairless
body.
Mowgli
was tired and hungry and wanted to get away from this horrible
place. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Bagheera climbing up
the broken walls. The monkeys saw him, too. Chattering loudly, hundreds
of them jumped on him. Bagheera tried to beat them back. They were
trying to tear him to pieces.
“Bagheera,
run to the water tank,” cried Mowgli. “Quick!”
Bagheera
jumped into the water tank. The monkeys fell away angrily. Then they
saw Kaa, wriggling up the w all towards them. His long body was
shining in the moonlight.
The
monkeys screamed. “Run! Run! It’s Kaa!”
They
scattered in every direction. They did not want to look into Kaa’s
eyes. They know that if Kaa stared at them with his green eyes.
They would freeze where they stood. They would not be able to move.
Kaa
had come up by now. He said to Bagheera, “Take the man-cub and
leave. I will take care of the Bandar-log”.
As
Bagheera turned to fetch Mowgli, Baloo came lumbering up, heaving and
panting.
Mowgli
was glad to see his friends again. Bagheerawas pleased, too. But said,
“Hurry, Mowgli, we must leave at once, while the monkeys are held by
Kaa’s eyes.”

Mowgli climbed
on to Bagheera’s back and laid his head down. He was very happy to
leave. The three friends slipped out of the Cold Lairs. They looked
back and saw the monkeys sitting quietly, staring into Kaa’s eyes.
They did not want to see what would happen, so they hurried away.
Mowgli s aid,
“Baloo andBagheera, I have been a bad man-cub. I am sad and sorry,
I really am.”
Baloo said, “You
may be sorry, but you still have to be punished for not listening
to me, your teacher.”
“Right,” added
Bagheera. “You have done wrong and got us into trouble, so you must
be cuffed. Mowgli, do you have anything to say?”
“No, Bagheera, I
did wrong. I must be punished.”
Baloo said
hastily, “Bagheera, you must remember that he is very young.”
Baloo did not
want Mowgli to be hurt. Bagheera tapped him a dozen times with his
paw. A tap from Bagheera was like a severe beating for Mowgli. He
fll, rolled over, but quietly took the beating. Then he got up
without a word.
“Now you can
jump on to my back, Little Brother,” said Bagheera, “and we will go
home.”

X.
Mowgli
was now ten years old. Baloo and Bagheera decided that it was time
for Mowgli to go to the man village that was on the edge of the
jungle. The jungle was not safe for him. Shere Khan continued to
hunt for him. He had vowed that he would get him one day.
He
was a very cunning tiger. He knew that Akela was getting old and
that soon a new, young wolf would become the leader. So Shere Khan
prepared a plan. He began to spend more and more time with the
young wolf pack, making them believe that he was their friend.
“What
do you have to do with a man-cub?” Shere Khan would ask them. “He
is not one of you.”
And
the young wolves began to agree with him. Bagheera heard all this.
He was afraid that the young wolves would drive Mowgli out of the
pack, when the time came to choose a new leader.
One
day, he spoke to the boy about this. Mowgli would not believe him.
“They
will never drive me away,” he said. “I am one of them. We have
grown up together, played together and hunted together. I am one of
them, Bagheera,” he repeated.
“Mowgli,
why do you forget that you are a man-cub? The creatures of the
jungle hate man because they fear him. Some of the wolf pack
already hate you. Shere Khan has made sure of that. All of them
will hate you when you become a man.”
Mowgli
could not speak.
“What
shall I do?” he asked.
“Go
to the village and bring back the red flower. Then all wolves, no,
all the creatures of the jungle, will fear you.”
Mowgli
knew the red flower. It was the fire around which the villagers sat
on winter nights, or which they carried with them in small pots on
cold days when they took their cattle to graze. It as true that
all the creatures of the jungle feared it. But Mowgli was not
afraid.

XI.
Mowgli
set off towards the village. A young girl had just come out of
the village gate with a pot of fire. Mowgli raced down the hill,
snatched the pot away from the girl and disappeared into the
jungle. The girl screamed and ran back into the village.
Bagheera
was waiting fir him.
“Quickly
feed it with dry sticks,” he said. “That is what they do in the
village.”
Mowgli
collected a pile of dry sticks and kept feeding the fire. He
carried the red flower, as Bagheera called it, to the Council Rock.
Shere Khan was already there.
Mowgli
asked the wolf pack, “Are you going to make a tiger your leader?
Is he one of you?”
“You
are not one of us,” shouted a young wolf. “Then why are you with
our pack?”
“Leave
the man-cub to me,” growled Shere Khan.
Before
anyone could speak, Mowgli picked up his pot of fire and fed it
with lots of dry sticks. The fire flared up. He laughed out loudly
when he saw Shere Khan jump up and run behind the rock.
“Have
you seen how brave your Shere Khan is?” he asked the pack.
The
wolves too, were trying to get as far away from the fire and
Mowgli as they could.
Mowgli
said, “I can see that you do not want me with you. I am leaving,
bur I shall come back, and when I do, I shall come with Shere Khan’s
skin.”
He
threw some burning sticks at Shere Khan. The tiger disappeared into
the jungle. The young wolves hurried behind him.

XII.
Mowgli
walked to the village. When the villagers saw him at the village
gate, they all came out to look at him.
“He
is a wolf-child,” some screamed, “Chase him away.”
But
one woman named Messua came and hugged Mowgli.
“This
is my child,” she said. “I had lost him when he was a baby.”
The
villagers decided that she could keep him, so she took him to her
hut. She fed him milk and cared for him. At night, she made a bed
for him on a wooden cot. Mowgli lay down on it, but he had never
slept on a cot before, so he went out of the hut and lay down
outside.
In
the middle of the night, he felt a cold nose rubbing his face. He
looked up and saw grey Brother, one of his wolf brothers.
“What
is it?” he asked.
“Shere
Khan vowed to kill you.”
“Thank
you, Grey Brother. Come again tomorrow night and tell me what is
going on in the jungle.”
Grey
Brother promised and disappeared into the jungle.
Mowgli
was a bright boy, and soon learnt many things in the village. He
learnt to speak like the other village boys. He was also allowed
to sit at the meetings that the villagers held every evening.
“Just
like the wolf pack,” thought Mowgli.
After
some months, Mowgli was allowed to take a herd of buffaloes to graze.
He was happy. At last he had been accepted as one of the village.
He
sat on Rama, the fat, black buffalo, and followed the herd. The
buffalo grazed all through the day; the children played and then
slept in the afternoon. They returned to the village before sunset.
One
d ay grey Wolf came and said, “Shere Khan is coming to kill you.”
“Now
we shall have some action,” said Mowgli. “But we need others to
help us.”
“I
am here,” said a voice. Mowgli yelled with joy when he saw Akela.
“Oh,
Akela, you haven’t forgotten me! I have thought of you often. Thank
you for coming. Now here is the plan.” Mowgli said to t he two
wolves. “We will divide the herd into two. Grey Brother, you take
care of one and Akela, you take care of the other.”
The
two wolves chased the buffaloes, as they had been told to do. They
ran swiftly into the herd and separated it into two halves. The
buffaloes, terrified to see the wolves after them. Ran and crashed
into one another, picked themselves up and ran on.
Mowgli
was sitting on Rama’s back watching. He heardShere Khan’s growl. The
tiger was ready to pounce on him, when he heard the deafening
noise of the buffaloes running towards him from both sides.
Shere
Khan knew that he was trapped. He tried to run into the jungle,
but there was nowhere he could go. There were frightened buffaloes
everywhere, running like mad animals. They ran over him, crushing
him, and ran on.
Mowgli
got of Rama’s back. Then he and Grey Brother began to skin Shere
Khan. He, Mowgli, had vowed to take back the tiger’s skin to t he
Council Rock. He would keep that promise.
Buldeo,
the village headman, came up to him and said, “Let me skin the
tiger, I will give you one rupee.”
“Go
away,” shouted Mowgli. “the skin is mine.”
Before
Buldeo could speak again, Grey Brother jumped up. Buldeo screamed
and raced back to the village.

XIII.
Carrying
the skin of Shere Khan, Mowgli proudly w alked back to the village.
He was sure the villagers would be proud of him. After all, he
had skinned a tiger! But as he approached the village, he saw them
shouting at him to go away. They were waving big sticks at him.
Mowgli saw Messua crying, as he turned away towards the jungle.
Grey
Brother and Akela were waiting for him. The three silently walked
to the cave of Mother Wolf. Tears of joy sparkled in her eyes
when she saw him.
Mowgli
laid Shere Khan’s skin at her feet, saying, “Mother, O have done as
I had promised. Here isShere Khan’s skin.”
“I
knew you would kill Shere Khan, my son,” replied Mother Wolf.
Mowgli
picked up the skin.
“Now
I will go to the Council Rock, so that the pack can see the
skin.”
He
climbed the Council Rock and threw the skin on it.
“See
for yourselves, O wolf pack, that I have killed Shere Khan and
returned with his skin, as I had promised.”
The
wolf pack rose and said, “You and Akela will lead us. You are the
brave ones.”
“No,
I will never lead your pack. You had once driven me away. You had
said that I was not your brother. So I turn my back on you. From
now on, I will hunt alone.”
With
these words, Mowgli jumped down from the Council Rock. Grey Brother
and Akela were waiting for him. So wereBaloo and Bagheera. They
happily walked away from he wolf pack and into the jungle, their
home.
