(mellow music)

- Mowgli the Man Cub,

Mowgli, where are you?

(voice echo's)

(bird squeaks)

(pot bubbling)

(man sips)

(boy stirring)

- Huh?

Huh?

(panicked sounds)

Huh?

- Huh?

(frustrated grunts)

- [Man] Holy cow.

You're a mighty lucky boy now,

reach up so I can get a grip on you and I'll haul you out.

- No, no.

(growling dog)

- [Man] Take it easy lad.

Come on.

(frustrated screams)

- [Man] Up you come.

(grunting)

(rolling rock)

(painful screams)

(sliding on rocks)

- [Mowgli] Rats! That human has put me in a cage.

(rustling)

(grunting)

(man sipping)

(man swallowing)

(comical scratching)

(grunting)

- [Man] That's enough of that lad.

If you want that foot to heal properly, you'll stay still.

You need a week or so in bed.

(growling)

Here, eat.

You have to fill up your tummy,

if you want that wound to heal.

(panicked growling)

- Huh?

(boy crying)

- Seems like you're not used to kindness, is that right lad?

Have adults treated you badly?

Don't be afraid.

(frustrated grunting)

- Ha, you're afraid of this?

(man sipping)

There see, it didn't do me any harm now, did it?

(boy snorts)

Here eat it while it's hot.

- What is this human trying to do to me?

(bird squawks)

- Hm?

(rumbling sound)

(man laughing)

- You're tummy's rumbling, you're so hungry.

I believe you're afraid to eat my food,

because you don't know who I am.

My name is Waha, Waha the Woodsman,

I'm the best Woodcutter in our village.

But I get restless stuck in the village, day-after-day.

So I go off exploring, where are you from?

- I'm so hungry.

- What?

I can't understand your growling.

Try again lad, speak up.

(boy crying)

- You poor thing, you never learned how to talk.

It's hard to believe, well never mind we'll manage.

I'll feed you myself.

(bird squawks)

(frightened yell)

- Huh?

(boy growls)

- You're a stubborn little fellow aren't you?

But you're no worse than my daughter's boy.

(boy growls)

And he's as stubborn as a mule.

I'll get some food in your tummy yet, just wait and see.

(comical shuffling)

(loud screams)

(comical shuffling)

- No.

- Whoo.

Good, now where was I?

Oh yes, feeding time.

You'll be easier to handle now.

I know that you're afraid, but I was obliged to tie you up,

so you wouldn't hurt yourself.

Open wide, there's a good lad.

(painful whines)

(comical swallowing)

- Food, I've never tasted anything like that before,

plants mixed together and made hot.

- Don't tell me you didn't like that,

it's one of my Grandchildren's favorite treats,

it tastes so good, that you don't know it's good for you.

I think you're ready for another bite.

(comical swallowing)

(comical eating)

- You have quite the appetite, eat your fill,

there's plenty.

(lullaby music)

(dog licking)

(water splashing)

(sleepy gasp)

(birds tweeting)

(wings flapping)

- I can't imagine where the man-cub is,

I've searched the jungle for two full days,

and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him.

Thought my instinct tells me that Mowgli is safe.

Bagheera and Baloo won't like it.

(wings flapping)

(mellow music)

(comical whimper)

(comical footsteps)

- It's healing nicely,

that's Mother Nature's medicine for you.

(rocks smashing)

I don't know what to do,

nearly time for me to head back to the village.

I've stayed away longer than I usually do already.

I can't leave you here by yourself,

while you still need looking after.

But if I take you back to the village with me,

we'll stir up trouble there.

What do you say Lad? Any idea what to do?

- These humans eyes are like my Mother's,

that's the way she looks at me when she's worried about me.

Huh?

(mellow music)

- I don't know where you came from?

But you sure haven't had much contact with men,

I'd like to teach you things, if I only knew how.

What you have to understand,

is that there are different kinds of people.

Some are like you and me,

they live close to nature and harmony,

with all other creatures.

But some other's are destructive,

they like to tear things apart and make things ugly.

They hunt for fun, not for food,

it was that kind of person who dug the pitfall,

where I found you.

(comical pushing)

- Why did you do that? Maybe I'm long-winded,

but it was for your own good.

(boy growling)

What's up?

(dramatic music)

(animals growling)

- They are the wild dogs, the Dholes.

Baloo said, they don't obey the Law of the Jungle,

they will attack anyone.

(running steps)

(dramatic music)

- Stand up now Lad, this way.

- Good, that's the spirit.

(animals growling)

(dramatic music)

- Hail, I am Mowgli the Wolf.

We be of one blood, ye' and I.

(animals growling)

It's true, they don't obey the Law of the Jungle.

(animals growling)

(clanging metal)

(animals running)

(clanging metal)

(animals running)

(mellow music)

- Phew.

Huh?

(boy laughing)

(man laughing)

(wings flapping)

- Akela, do you know where I can find Baloo or Bagheera?

I'm afraid I have bad news about Mowgli.

- Tell me all you know,

as leader of the pack I demand your report.

- Me and my big mouth,

they told me not to say a word to anyone.

- Don't play the fool with me,

Chil I want your report, and I want it now.

(comical whimper)

Chil, at long last.

- Baloo.

- It's about time, I gather that you stopped off

at your nest for a snack before reporting.

- Well, yes.

- [Baloo] Never mind.

What's the news.

- There is none.

(birds squawking)

(dramatic music)

- Mowgli has not returned,

Chil the kite has searched and been unable to find him.

Mowgli maybe in danger.

We are honor-bound to go to his aide.

Mowgli is a worthy, young member of this pack.

The Son of Luri, brother to Sura and Akrim,

and loyal friend.

The search begins at dawn.

(wolf howling)

(pack howling)

- I have something to say,

may I speak?

It's because of the cruel things I said to him,

that Mowgli ran off.

I'm sorry now.

Lead him home safely.

(dramatic music)

(man blowing)

(fire crackling)

- The red flower,

all the animals are afraid of it.

(dramatic music)

(man blowing)

- The fire's going nicely,

now we can have a little chat.

Remember what I said about coming to the village?

Do you want too?

I'd be happy to bring you back with me,

but some wouldn't like it.

Some people will only put up with you

if you're exactly like them.

When they see someone who's a bit different

they make them feel un-welcome.

I wish people were more like the animals in the jungle.

Here it's live and let-live.

Huh?

(footsteps)

(dramatic music)

(birds cheeping)

(dramatic music)

(boy grunting)

- That's very good.

Listen Lad, I thought it over.

I can't leave you here to fend for yourself

until you're well.

You'll be in more danger here,

than you would be in the village.

So please come with me tomorrow,

it's right on the edge of the jungle.

I'll bring you back when you're better.

(man gasping)

- I wonder what Bagheera's doing?

And Baloo and Mother?

Have they forgotten all about me?

(bird chirping)

(mellow music)

(trees rustling)

(boy gasps)

- The wild dogs, more than yesterday.

(bird chirping)

(clanging metal)

- Good for you, you're saying the Dhole's are back.

(material rustling)

(animals growling)

(dramatic music)

- Clear out, you varmonts.

(metal clanging)

(animal noises)

- Huh?

(dramatic music)

(bird squawking)

(animals running)

- Onward.

(animals running)

(dogs attacking)

(comical fighting)

(panicked screaming)

(boy screams)

(animal growling)

- Get off me!

(comical screaming)

Don't hurt the boy.

(animals running)

(dramatic music)

- [Mowgli] Bagheera!

(animals running)

(comical fighting)

(bear growling)

(wolf howling)

(pack howling)

(boy gasps)

- [Man] Phew.

(wings flapping)

(mellow music)

- Mowgli the Wolf, adopted son of Alexander and Luri,

you deserted the Wolf pack against the advice of your elders

so we sought you out.

You must now come back.

- Please come back, we've all missed you.

- [Female Cub] It's true Mowgli, we want you to come back.

- [Male Cub] We'd been mean to you,

just because you're different.

- [Man Cub Two] But it's not fair to pick on you.

- [Female Cub Two] We're so sorry.

- [Cubs] Please come back Mowgli.

(boy crying)

- Oh Bagheera!

(mellow music)

- Huh?

(boy crying)

- Goodbye my little wolf boy.

God be with you.

You're far better off than I,

you live free in the jungle.

(bird chirping)

- What's that? You want to live free in the jungle too?

(cage door opens)

Off you go then.

(bird chirping)

God's speed.

(mellow music)

(boy laughing)
