But that night Kala Nag, his elephant, takes Little Toomai in his back and the boy sees all the elephants dance. Petersen Sahib tells him he may go to the Keddahs when he has seen the elephants dance, which no man has ever seen. Little Toomai will become a mahout, just like his ancesters. It saved their lives by killing three snakes in the garden of that family. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was a mongoose which accidently arrived in an Indian family. He searches for five years and finally Sea Cow shows him a hidden paradise where all the seals can live and no man will ever find it. He wants to find a place for seals without men. Kotick, the only white seal, discovers that men are killing seals at his place of birth Novastshnah. Mowgli returns to the jungle with the skin of Shere Khan and all his friends are happy to see him back. The people of the village think he is a wizard because he has beaten the limp tiger and they cast him out just like the Seeonee Pack did. Mowgli uses the cattle and the buffaloes to beat Shere Khan when he has just eaten. One day, Grey Brother and Akela, two wolves, warn him for Shere Khan, who still wants to kill him as he swore years ago. He integrates well in the village and after a while, they let him herd the cattle and the buffaloes. When Mowgli arrives in the village near the wood, the people think he is Messua’s lost son. Baloo and Bagheera ask Kaa, the snake, to help them get Mowgli back, because Kaa is the only animal where the monkey-people are afraid of. The monkey-people are the Bandar-log: every one ignores them because they have no law and no manners. When Baloo, Bagheera, the black panther who sometimes accompaigns the lessons, and Mowgli lay down to do a nap, the monkey-people kidnap the child. Some seasons before he was banned, Mowgli was thought the Law of the Jungle by Baloo, the brown bear. Shere Khan sets up the other wolves against Mowgli and they ban the man-cub out of the Jungle.

After ten seasons Akela, their leader, is beaten in a fight and Shere Khan takes his place as leader of the Seeonee Wolf-Pack. The Pack Council decides to keep Mowgli and to protect him. Mowgli’s brothers, Kaa’s Hunting, Tiger! Tiger!įather and Mother Wolf save a man-cub from Shere Khan, the limp tiger, who wanted to eat him.
