Do you know why?

Yes, because they named it after me!

No, cos if you eat it, you croak.

You know not to eat anything

without asking me first.

That fruit's poisonous.

Thanks, Hathi.

No problem, Raksha.

We're all looking out for the boy.

I'm sorry I kicked you.

- It's OK, kiddo, I'll live.

But next time, listen to your mom.

There are dangerous things

in the jungle.

If you take a ride with me, I'll show

you the biggest danger of all.

Can I go, Mother? Please?

Alright, but stay with Hathi.

- No worries. We'll take good care.

OK, now, get on board.

We're going up.

Top floor. Pachyderm penthouse.

Whee.

Hang on now, all ahead.

Bye, Mom.

- Hold tight, Mowgli. Have fun.

OK, now, eyes open.

We're entering the danger zone.

Of all the animals, there is

one species that everyone fears.

And that is the... Duck!

A duck? Oh, duck!

Right, duck. Anyway, as was saying,

the most dangerous animal of all

is the one who did this.

Who? Who did this?

Man did this. Man and the red flower

they call fire.

The more flowers they plant,

the less jungle we got

Chil is right.

Fire is life's greatest destroyer.

The red flower

leaves us nothing but death.

Which makes it my favourite flower.

Boy, was I confused.

Before I was a man-cub, I thought

the red ower was something good.

Something to keep you warm

and safe at night.

But how could something

so good do something so bad?

Hathi, if you're playing tour guide,

were is the elephant graveyard?

I am starved!

Oh, Chil!

- I know, I know, chill.

OK, lunch. Actually,

lunch is a breeze around here.

Help yourself to the ripest mangoes

this side of the Waingunga.

Thanks, Hathi.

Do you want a banana?

Why, yes, now that you mention it,

I would like one.

Listen, next time, peel it.

That day with Hathi helped me see

the world through the animals' eyes.

As my knowledge of the jungle grew,

so did I.

Every day was an adventure.

Every day was something new.

I was learning the ropes.

Or should I say the vines?

I felt like I was ready

to leave the nest.

Flap those wings, man-cub,

cos if you fall, you're dead meat.

Ouch!

Mowgli, you still alive?

Barely.

Darn.

That's it, Mowgli, nice and clean.

Don't forget your tail feathers!

If only I had a ladder.

Mowgli.

Whenever! Got a chance,

I hung out with Baloo,

the hungriest bear in all of India

or Bagheera,

the smartest panther anywhere.

Now about Baloo.

He was gruff on the outside,

but on the inside, he was sweet as...

Honey!

Now remember, the higher the hive,

the sweeter the honey.

Be careful.

Eat my stinger!

Ow!

- Long live the Queen!

Come on, Mowgli! No pain, no gain!

Easy, boy. Don't disturb the hive.

D'oh!

Rudyard Kipling

Joseph Rudyard Kipling ( RUD-yərd; 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If—" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature, and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the British Empire, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, both of which he declined.Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed according to the political and social climate of the age and the resulting contrasting views about him continued for much of the 20th century. George Orwell saw Kipling as "a jingo imperialist", who was "morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting". Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "[Kipling] is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with." more…
