"People," he said. "Young people. Look."

Directly in front of him, a low branch,

was a naked brown baby...

I could barely walk.

So fast and smoothly the evening came

and the wolves disappeared to his cave.

He looked at the face of the father wolf and laughed.

"Is it that men are like that," said the mother wolf.

"I've never seen one before."

Bring him here. Small, naked

and so courageous, "said Mother Wolf softly.

The baby took the wrong road between the boy

to approach and appeal.

He will eat with the others.

He looks like a toad, "said the father wolf.

Then we call it that,

Mowgli the frog.

We should have a name secret between us.

I can be Mowgli and you can be the Wolf.

- Who are they?

- They are the great apes....

The Mowgli is lost in

jungle and the Wolf will find me,

and protect me from evil monkeys nuts.

This is our forest

and nobody will come here.

I once had a birthday party.

It was with an old woman.

She made me a cake

a chocolate cake.

He had five candles on top.

- Why you ran away from home?

- My mother was crazy...

She said she used drugs at the library.

- And then your father?

- He lives in a caravan somewhere.

- Where's your mother?

- They put her in a hospital.

That was why they had to sell you?

You have more photos like these?

- I do not...

- No matter, I'll get some more.

Then they go in the book.

The book will go nationwide.

I'll send it by FEDEX.

If they like what they see, you will have

with the client or the client comes to you.

If children I fly with them.

I treat the new identity.

Divided 50/50. Profitable and safe.

- Sure, sounds good.

- This is important.

- We partner discount, so

if anything... - No, I do not.

Sorry, I do not.

I'm not like that.

- Me neither.

- Right. Good

Anyway... So nice children.

Adorable.

Yes they are. But do not want to see the fly.

- Ok

- Okay?

- Maybe another time.

- Yes, maybe.

Ok, so... tomas one bath.

Tomas a bath first, I like that.

Do not forget, is a free county.

It will be okay.

You know where you are going?

Home of a judge.

You know what that means?

It is a good person. The judges are fair,

are always doing good things.

So, do what thou wilt. If the Judge

say okay, okay.

I just leave you only with good people.

With good people.

People like your parents.

Ok?

Come on.

"Look, Mowgli," said Wolf.

"I'll give you all the rules

Jungle for the people of the jungle. "

Except for the monkeys

living in trees.

They have no rules,

are proscribed.

They have no proper language,

but use words stolen

that they intercepted,

pending

hidden behind the branches.

You're already dressed...

Why not dress it?

Your ways are not our ways,
