Thou smellest of wood smoke and cattle altogether like a man already. Wake, Little Brother; I bring news." "Are all well in the jungle?" said Mowgli, hugging him. "All except the wolves that were burned with the Red Flower. Now, listen. Shere Khan has gone away to hunt far off till his coat grows again, for he is badly singed. When he returns he swears that he will lay thy bones in the Waingunga."
Shere Khan's plan is to wait for thee at the village gate this evening for thee and for no one else. He is lying up now, in the big dry ravine of the Waingunga. 'Has he eaten to-day, or does he hunt empty? said Mowgli, for the answer meant life and death to him. 'He killed at dawn a pig and he has drunk too. Remember, Shere Khan could never fast, even for the sake of revenge. 'Oh! fool, fool!
They throw stones and talk child's talk. My mouth is bleeding. Let me run away. Through the night, through the hot night, run swiftly with me, my brothers. We will leave the lights of the village and go to the low moon. Waters of the Waingunga, the Man-Pack have cast me out. I did them no harm, but they were afraid of me. Why? Wolf Pack, ye have cast me out too.
Look, he has pushed one of my babes to one side already. And that lame butcher would have killed him and would have run off to the Waingunga while the villagers here hunted through all our lairs in revenge! Keep him? Assuredly I will keep him. Lie still, little frog. O thou Mowgli for Mowgli the Frog I will call thee the time will come when thou wilt hunt Shere Khan as he has hunted thee."
'All except the wolves that were burned with the Red Flower. Now, listen. Shere Khan has gone away to hunt far off till his coat grows again, for he is badly singed. When he returns he swears that he will lay thy bones in the Waingunga. 'There are two words to that. I also have made a little promise. But news is always good.
Many, too, were those of the Pack who leaped into the Waingunga, but they were dead ere they took water. Those who did not leap died also in the rocks above. But the buck lived." "How?" "Because he came first, running for his life, leaping ere the Little People were aware, and was in the river when they gathered to kill.
There were dholes who had leaped short into the trees on the cliffs, and the bees blotted out their shapes; but the greater number of them, maddened by the stings, had flung themselves into the river; and, as Kaa said, the Waingunga was hungry water. Kaa held Mowgli fast till the boy had recovered his breath. "We may not stay here," he said. "The Little People are roused indeed. Come!"
Mor cried the new smells, the other birds took it over, and from the rocks by the Waingunga he heard Bagheera's hoarse scream something between the scream of an eagle and the neighing of a horse.
Now the villagers of the Waingunga are angry with him, and he has come here to make our villagers angry. They will scour the jungle for him when he is far away, and we and our children must run when the grass is set alight. Indeed, we are very grateful to Shere Khan! 'Shall I tell him of your gratitude? said Tabaqui. 'Out! snapped Father Wolf. 'Out and hunt with thy master.
Father Wolf began angrily "By the Law of the Jungle he has no right to change his quarters without due warning. He will frighten every head of game within ten miles, and I I have to kill for two, these days." "He has been lame in one foot from his birth. That is why he has only killed cattle. Now the villagers of the Waingunga are angry with him, and he has come here to make our villagers angry.
