The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story Page #4

---

Plan B! Go to plan B!

What's plan B?

- Bale out! Bale out!

Geronimo!

Oh, man! I just waxed my shell.

Good job, Mowgli. Sweet!

I looked forward to the times

when wise old Bagheera and I

would sit and talk for hours.

Life came to earth from the heavens.

All creatures from aardvarks

to zebras are related.

What? But where did

the heavens come from?

Sorry, man-cub.

Nobody is that smart.

I knew that. See you.

There he is! Let's go. Let's hide.

OK. You go that way.

I'll go this way.

" ' Ugh!"

And I even got my first kiss.

Let's play spin the banana.

Sometimes, I would wonder

about my past.

But then my pack, my family,

would remind me I was one of them,

and any doubts would just fade away.

Then came a day

I would never forget.

I was invited to join in

my very first wolf-pack meeting.

Alright, we hear you.

We're coming, Akela. Relax.

A pack meeting. Come on.

I hope that cutie

Li'I Rakshefs there.

There she is, with the man-cub.

Mowgli, isn't this cool?

OK, pack, ears up. It's time

to discuss the spring hunt.

Raksha, would you like to start?

Alright. As many of you know,

our daughter, Li'I Raksha, is now

old enough to become a hunter.

I heard that wolf whistle.

Hoe-ah'.!

Li'I Raksha on the hunt?

- I'd love to be her first catch.

Dream on. You're just a sheep

in wolf's clothing.

Yeah? I'll tell you...

- Settle down, boys.

It is tradition for our oldest member

to address the pack about the hunt.

Biranyi.

- Thanks, sonny.

Let me start

by saying that old age stinks.

I mean, here it is, spring,

the only time the deer pass this way,

and I'm too pooped to pounce.

What? Really?

- Poor Biranyi.

Yeah, well, what can I do?

My dang paw's still not healed.

I'd hold up the show.

But we need every hunter we can get.

Darn tootin'. That's why

I'd like to name my replacement.

Mowgli.

- Me?

Mowgli?

Not that two-legged stray.

- He's no hunter.

He's a loser!

Mowgli's got more courage

than you three mongrels combined.

You should be honoured

to hunt with him.

That's very big of you, Biranyi.

- Well, I owe the kid one.

It's only fair. If it's Li'I Raksha's

time, then it's Mowgli's time, too.

Agreed. Li'I Raksha, Mowgli,

come down and join the circle.

Come on, brother,

let's take the oath.

Li'I Raksha, do you promise

to protect the pack

and honor our traditions?

I do.

Mowgli, what do you say?

What's that?

- It's a scout.

The danger call.

- Somethings up.

Shere Khan?

- But you're dead.

A rumour, greatly exaggerated.

I was merely wounded in the backside

by a bullet fired

by one of his people.

You tell 'em, boss!

What do you want, Shere Khan?

- What do I want?

What does he want? He wants...
