(birds tweeting)

- [Male Wolf] Look at that, wonderful!

- [Female Wolf] Who brought him down?

- Mogli! - Mogli, the great hunter!

- [Male Wolf] He's so brave!

- Look, there's the proof! - Yeah!

- [Male Wolf] Sher Khan will never bother us again!

- [Male Wolf] Tell us the story, Mogli!

- [Female Wolf] Yeah, tell us! - Fellow wolves!

Friends, Sher Khan's downfall is a victory for us all!

(triumphant trumpet music)

(wolves cheering)

- [Male Wolf] Mogli, Mogli!

- Yay!

Yay!

I did it! We've won!

(wolves cheering)

- [Male Wolf] Hooray, hooray, hooray!

- Yay, yeah!

- And so there we were, just the two of us, eye to eye,

I held my knife tightly in my fist as he came towards me.

My torch burned, I struck him! (grunting)

(Wolves gasping)

- The torch!

Mogli won because he can use the Red Flower!

- Hey, look! There he is!

[Wolves] Mogli!

Yay!

- [Female Wolf] We wanna hear the story, too!

- [Male Wolf] Yeah, tell us!

- Haven't you heard it already?

- [Wolves] No.

- Okay, one more time.

The Red Flower was burning at the end of the stick

as Sher Khan approached me.

I ran and (grunts) comes Sher Khan,

and as he sprang, I leapt up,

raised the Red Flower and struck!

- [Wolves] Whoa.

- Sher Khan turned his mighty head towards me

and screamed out! (screams)

His cry of pain sent shudders through me!

- [Wolves] Whoa.

- Hey, that's not fair!

- Huh?

- [Female Wolf] We wanna hear the story too!

- That's right, we wanna hear all about

your battle with Sher Khan.

Everything, right?

- Yes, all of it!

How did ya do it, how did ya beat Sher Khan?

- I'll be glad to tell you.

Sher Khan was snarling and as he moved closer,

I pointed my torch. Remember, Sher Khan was afraid

of the Red Flower burning on the end of my stick.

I jumped. (grunts)

Come on, Sher Khan!

And as he sprang, I leapt up, raised the torch and struck!

- [Male Wolf] Well done, Mogli!

- [Male Wolf] He's so brave.

- [Female Wolf] How true! Mogli is a great hunter!

- Then I swung my blade at him.

- [Wolves] Oh!

- He bared his teeth and roared,

I knew it was the time to strike.

- [Wolves] Wow! - Before he could attack,

I thrust, I won!

- [Male Wolf] Mogli! - Mogli, the great hunter!

- He was a ferocious enemy.

But the final victory was mine.

- [Wolves] Ooh.

- The mighty Sher Khan is silenced forever.

- [Male Wolf] What a brave hunter!

- [Female Wolf] Well done, Mogli!

- [Male Wolf] Thank you, Mogli!

- [Male Wolf] At last, we're rid of Sher Khan!

- [Male Wolf] Yes, at last!

(birds tweeting)

(light flute music)

(wolves laughing)

- Hey.

(wolves laughing)

It looks like they're having fun.

(leaves rustling)

Huh?

(thunder rumbles distantly)

(rain patters)

(birds tweeting)

(grunts)

What now? Hey, I'll go over to mother's lair.

Good idea!

(lighthearted flute music)

(bunnies smooching)

(animals chattering)

(Mogli gasps)

(bird cawing)

They all have someone to be with.

I'm all alone and I don't know anybody who wants

to be with me.

Ah, that's it!

(Mogli laughs)

(Mogli laughing)

(Wolves giggling)

- Hi, Lala! Sarah!

- Mogli, how are you?

- [Sarah] Hello, Mogli.

- Hi, where's Mother?

- [Sarah] She's out on patrol.

- What did you wanna see her for?

- Oh, nothing.

- [Both Wolves] Hmm?

- It's just that I wasn't busy today,

so I thought I'd drop by and see her.

Hey, I know what.

Sarah, we could do something together.

We could look for Geng, you want to?

- Um, sorry, Mogli.

Lala and I had made plans to go singing now.

- Do you wanna come?

- Thanks, but I don't feel like singing right now.

(Mogli sighs) (footsteps pattering)

(Mogli gasps) (Warthogs snorting)

(footsteps rustling)

(Mogli sighs)

Yeah! (grunts)

(Mogli shouts)

(Mogli sighs)

No one wants to be with me?

Fine, I don't need anybody!

(Mogli gasps)

- Hi there, Mogli, how are things?

- Akru, hello!

- This is my good friend, Mackie.

(Mackie giggles softly)

- Ah.

- We've gotta go. - But--

- I'll see ya soon, Mogli.

Mackie and I are going to the hill to sing.

- [Mogli] Wait!

- [Akru] Goodbye, Mogli.

(Akru and Mackie giggling)

(Mogli sighs)

Singing, everyone's singing!

What's so special about singing?

Nothing! It's a waste of time!

Ha!

(grass rustling)

(calm easy listening music)

(Mogli panting)

(Mogli grunting)

(Mogli roaring)

(Mogli wailing)

(Mogli gasps)

Hm?

(soft roaring)

Begheera! (laughs)

Bagheera, you sure look funny trying to run on your back.

Are you pawing at the clouds or what?

- Oh, it's you, Mogli. Don't bother me.

I came here to be on my own and now I can't find any peace.

Hmph, I was very happy here, by myself.

- Gee, I'm sorry, Bagheera.

Are you angry?

- No, not at you, it's just that everyone

is so excited about singing.

No one wants to spend time with Bagheera anymore.

No one, except you.

In fact, I've been thinking about visiting you, Mogli.

(laughs) Look at you!

I guess I'm not the only one in the jungle

who's been rolling in the grass and pawing at the clouds.

- I was just feeling lonely

and frustrated about being alone.

It's as if now is a special time

to find someone to be with, Bagheera.

They're all so busy and happy together.

(lighthearted classical music)

(Bagheera grunts)

(Mogli groans)

I love to lie here and smell all the smells

that travel back and forth on the wind.

- Yes, this is the time of year when even the grass

and the trees sing to each other.

- Akru found himself a singing partner.

- Ah yes, well, that's natural considering

he's with Lala and Sarah day after day.

- You know, Bagheera, it makes me wonder

if mother will ever get married again.

- Hm? Marry again?

- Frankly, I don't really want her to marry again but--

- Hmm, she's not likely to. That's not the wolf way.

They marry only once and it's for life,

no matter what happens, they'll never marry again.

I'm surprised you haven't learned that yet, man-cub.

But I suppose it's so obvious, they never mentioned it.

Come to think of it, that reminds me of a very good story.

(Mogli grunts)

And since you're the only one around here,

I guess I'll tell you the story, lad. (clears throat)

Where do you think you're going?

(Bagheera clears throat)

Now then, this story takes place during the time

when I was still being kept by the humans.

A she-wolf was out hunting one night,

unaware that man had set a trap, the cold fang.

(trap clamps shut) (wolf whimpers)

(wolf howling)

The humans carried her back to their camp,

where they put her in a cage.

She called to her mate, to let him know where she was.

So, the next night...

(dog whimpers)

(footsteps rustling)

(wolf howling)

(wolf growling)

(dog whimpers)

(wolf whimpering)

(wolf snarling)

(wolf panting)

(wolf whimpering)

Exhausted, but not defeated,

the male wolf laid down besides his mate

and stayed with her throughout the night.

At dawn, he went back into the jungle.

(crickets chirping)

But the next night, he returned to her side.

He struggled to free her with all his might.

(wolf snarling)

(wolf panting)

(wolf snarling)

(wolves whimpering)

(wolf howling)

And when the sun rose, the male wolf had chosen

to remain with his mate.

- [Male Human] (yawn) Come on, Sam.

- [Sam] Day already?

(humans yawning) - Good morning!

Well, let's get the day moving, gentlemen!

- [Sam] Yes, I'm still hoping we can bring home

some good trophies.

- [Male Human] We will!

- [Male Human] But what's for breakfast?

- [Male Human] Tinned sardines and chips bitit!

(male yawning)

(whistling a song)

(wolf snarls)

(man shouts)

Help! Help!

- [Male Human] Frank!

- [Frank] Don't just stand there!

- [Male Human] The wolf's in the way!

- [Male Human] Push him off! Get the wolf off!

- [Male Human] That's it! - He's going to spring!

- [Male Human] Get him!

(guns booming)

(wolf whimpering)

(wolf crying)

- [Bhageera] From that moment on,

the female wolf refused to eat.

The hunters offered her the tastiest morsels they could find

because they wanted to take her home with them as a prize.

But she refused all nourishment.

She had lost the will to live.

Knowing that her mate was gone, she simply pined away.

So, you see, man-cub?

- [Mogli] Hmm?

- That's why Luri will never get married again, understand?

- Mmhm, yes, I remember the fight

between Sher Khan and Father.

If she hadn't had us to look after,

she would have fought by Alexander's side

and risked her own life.

- It was a great day for us all when you beat Sher Khan,

but the one who had the greatest reason

to rejoice was your mother.

- Hmm, I'm glad for her.

- Eventually, you'll wanna marry too,

find yourself a human partner.

Promise that when you do,

you'll remember what you've learned

so that you'll our respect.

- Mm, alright Bagheera, I promise.

But I won't get married.

- Mmm, that's what they all say at your age,

but you'll see, things will change.

You remember that human girl?

- Oh, yes! Jumeirah.

- That's right, Jumeirah, yes, I remember now.

She had very beautiful eyes, didn't she?

In fact, she was one of the most beautiful humans I've seen,

and she seemed very intelligent for a human.

She reminds me of the girl who saved me long ago.

Linda was beautiful, too.

- Hmm. - Where are you going?

I have other stories.

- See ya later, Bagheera, I have to go!

- These young cubs today.

They've no time for an old panther's stories.

(happy easy listening music)

(Mogli grunts)

(Mogli laughs)

(Jumeirah laughing)

- It's a necklace of pretty flowers.

Here, put it on, Mogli. (laughs)

I like you, will you be my friend, Mogli?

- Yes, Jumeirah, I will be friend. Promise.

(Jumeirah laughs)

- Oh, stop!

No, don't! Mogli's my friend!

- (grunts) Get out of the way, girl.

And don't you come back, you hear me?

(Mogli gasps)

- Oh, no. Mogli, don't go!

(suspenseful classical music)

(birds tweeting)

- Hmm?

I don't believe I've seen that creature here before.

I'll have a look.

Hey there, mongoose, what's your name?

Where are you going?

- My name is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

- Is it, indeed?

May I be of any assistance?

My name is Chil and I'm a mine

of information about the jungle.

- Great, you're just what I need!

I've been looking for Mogli, the man-cub.

Do you know where he is?

- What's that? Mogli?

Tell me why you want to see him.

- There's not enough time to explain.

You must help me, Chil, I have to find him right away!

- Yes, of course.

But don't get in a tizzy, Ricky.

I know where Mogli is, but I don't tell everyone.

- But you must tell me, Chil!

If you're his friend, you, (grunts)

you must, I know he'd wanna talk to me!

- I'm certain you're telling the truth,

Ricky, I have no doubt.

However, I'm in a rather delicate position

though I sense your urgency.

Tell me where you're from.

- It's very far from here, I'm from the human village.

- The human village where Mogli lived?

- Yes, that's where the trouble is!

- Why didn't you say so earlier?

Really, if it concerns humans, we should tell Mogli.

Come, I'll help you find him.

(suspenseful classical music)

Hello, Bagheera, Baloo, wake up.

- Wha? What is your problem, Chil?

Go away and let us sleep.

- [Chil] Oh, I'm in a bit of a rush to find Mogli.

- [Bagheera] Mogli? What's the matter?

Is he in danger? Speak!

- [Chil] He'll tell you.

- I don't think I've ever seen him before.

- (sniffs) I know that smell,

this is what the humans smell like!

- [Chil] Right, he's from the human village

and says that he must find Mogli.

- My name is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

Where can I find Mogli?

- Well, let's see, I was with him yesterday.

We were sitting together and I was just about to tell him

a story when he ran off somewhere.

- I don't know where he is.

Why don't you tell us what's wrong?

- They're in trouble, Jameira and her parents

and her grandfather Rahhar.

They've all been taken away.

- Hmm?

- Jumeirah?

The girl that Mogli made friends with?

- That's right.

And I'm afraid she and her family are in danger.

- In that case, we'll help.

Baloo and I are the two best trackers in the jungle.

Baloo, you look for him along the river.

I'll search the high ground.

- [Baloo] Mm.

- [Bagheera] We'll find him for you, Rikki, never fear.

(suspenseful classical music)

(Mogli gasps)

(Mogli grunts)

- Jumeirah? No one there.

Where can the family have gone?
