Come hunting with me and Baloo. He has new hives that he wishes to show, and we all desire thee back again as of old. Take off that look which makes even me afraid! The man and woman will not be put into the Red Flower, and all goes well in the Jungle. Is it not true? Let us forget the Man-Pack." "They shall be forgotten in a little while. Where does Hathi feed to-night?" "Where he chooses.
Then he swam round and round, ducking in and out of the bars of the moonlight like the frog, his namesake. By this time Hathi and his three sons had turned, each to one point of the compass, and were striding silently down the valleys a mile away.
"Men came to take him from the trap," Mowgli continued, "but he broke his ropes, for he was strong, and went away till his wound was healed. Then came he, angry, by night to the fields of those hunters. And I remember now that he had three sons. These things happened many, many Rains ago, and very far away among the fields of Bhurtpore. What came to those fields at the next reaping, Hathi?"
Shere Khan slunk away, not daring to growl, for he knew what every one else knows that when the last comes to the last, Hathi is the Master of the Jungle. "What is this right Shere Khan speaks of?" Mowgli whispered in Bagheera's ear. "To kill Man is always, shameful. The Law says so. And yet Hathi says " "Ask him. I do not know, Little Brother.
I grow deaf here, and it is long since I heard their war-gongs." "The Jungle is above our heads," said Mowgli. "I know only Hathi and his sons among elephants. Bagheera has slain all the horses in one village, and what is a King?" "I told thee," said Kaa softly to the Cobra, "I told thee, four moons ago, that thy city was not."
He could understand, if the worst came to the worst, a quick rush down the village street, and a right and left blow into a crowd, or a crafty killing of men as they ploughed in the twilight; but this scheme for deliberately blotting out an entire village from the eyes of man and beast frightened him. Now he saw why Mowgli had sent for Hathi.
It was a handsome ass, and friendly, but just an ass, and nothing more." The elephant asked: "Did you see it good and clear? Were you close to it?" "I saw it good and clear, O Hathi, King of Beasts. I was so close that I touched noses with it." "This is very strange," said the elephant; "the cat was always truthful before as far as we could make out. Let another witness try.
I came hot-foot to thee. Thou art older than Hathi. But oh, Kaa," here Mowgli wriggled with sheerjoy, "it will be good hunting. Few of us will see another moon." "Dost THOU strike in this? Remember thou art a Man; and remember what Pack cast thee out. Let the Wolf look to the Dog. THOU art a Man." "Last year's nuts are this year's black earth," said Mowgli.
You could hear the does and fawns coughing in the snuff-like dust. Up-stream, at the bend of the sluggish pool round the Peace Rock, and Warden of the Water Truce, stood Hathi, the wild elephant, with his sons, gaunt and gray in the moonlight, rocking to and fro always rocking.
Though on a much smaller scale, it is of the same type as Akbar's splendid palace in the Agra Fort, and was evidently intended for one of the highest rank in the imperial zanana. The Hathi Pol and Adjoining Buildings. Close under Birbal's house is the main road leading down to the great lake now drained, the embankment of which formed the north-west boundary of the city.
