'Oh, thou art a man's cub, said the Black Panther, very tenderly; 'and even as I returned to my jungle, so thou must go back to men at last, to the men who are thy brothers, if thou art not killed in the Council. 'But why but why should any wish to kill me? said Mowgli. 'Look at me, said Bagheera; and Mowgli looked at him steadily between the eyes.
"To think of one so young remembering the Master Word for the birds too while he was being pulled across trees!" "It was most firmly driven into him," said Bagheera. "But I am proud of him, and now we must go to the Cold Lairs."
"The best and wisest and boldest of man-cubs my own pupil, who shall make the name of Baloo famous through all the jungles; and besides, I we love him, Kaa." "Ts! Ts!" said Kaa, weaving his head to and fro. "I also have known what love is. There are tales I could tell that " "That need a clear night when we are all well fed to praise properly," said Bagheera quickly.
Then Akela and Gray Brother had to explain their share of the great buffalo-drive in the ravine, and Baloo toiled up the hill to hear all about it, and Bagheera scratched himself all over with pure delight at the way in which Mowgli had managed his war.
Does he fly, then?" Mowgli sat with his elbows on his knees, looking out across the valley at the daylight. Somewhere down in the woods below a bird was trying over in a husky, reedy voice the first few notes of his spring song. It was no more than a shadow of the liquid, tumbling call he would be pouring later, but Bagheera heard it.
"There is no game afoot," said Mowgli. "Little Brother, are BOTH thine ears stopped? That is no killing-word, but my song that I make ready against the need." "I had forgotten. I shall know when the Time of New Talk is here, because then thou and the others all run away and leave me alone." Mowgli spoke rather savagely. "But, indeed, Little Brother," Bagheera began, "we do not always "
"Forbidden," said Bagheera, "but I still think Baloo should have warned thee against them." "I I? How was I to guess he would play with such dirt. The Monkey People! Faugh!" A fresh shower came down on their heads and the two trotted away, taking Mowgli with them. What Baloo had said about the monkeys was perfectly true.
Neither spoke till the trail ran up to the ashes of a camp-fire hidden in a ravine. "Again!" said Bagheera, checking as though he had been turned into stone. The body of a little wizened Gond lay with its feet in the ashes, and Bagheera looked inquiringly at Mowgli. "That was done with a bamboo," said the boy, after one glance.
'There is no one in the jungle that knows that I, Bagheera, carry that mark the mark of the collar; and yet, Little Brother, I was born among men, and it was among men that my mother died in the cages of the King's Palace at Oodeypore. It was because of this that I paid the price for thee at the Council when thou wast a little naked cub. Yes, I too was born among men. I had never seen the jungle.
Only Bagheera could have given those strokes, and only Bagheera would have thought of insolently dragging the last carcass to the open street. The villagers had no heart to make fires in the fields that night, so Hathi and his three sons went gleaning among what was left; and where Hathi gleans there is no need to follow.
