(gentle music)

- [Mowgli] There.

(Mowgli gasps)

(water rushes)

- How beautiful.

- She's going to fall.

Jumeirah!

(Mowgli wails)

(Jumeirah laughs)

- [Jumeirah] I think he was trying to save me, grandfather.

- He fell in.

That's funny, very funny.

(both laugh)

- I like it.

But, what is it?

- Mowgli, am I ever glad to see you again.

- How beautiful.

How beautiful.

- You dropped this cloth when you fell into the river.

We call it a kerchief.

You can have it back when it's dry.

Mommy gave this one to me.

- Mommy?

- Yes, my mother.

And, I have a grandfather.

That man sitting over there is my grandfather.

Grandfather Rahhar.

- Grandfather, Grandfather Rahhar.

- Yes.

(Jumeirah giggles)

My Grandfather Rahhar is an old man.

- Jumeirah, don't tease your old grandfather.

(Jumeirah giggles)

(upbeat music)

That's the way.

You're getting the hang of it now, lad.

Next step, stack up the logs on the pile,

but don't think you can pile the logs up

any way you like.

You have to spread them out,

so the sun can dry them quickly.

Good for you.

You're a clever lad.

You're an intelligent lad, Mowgli.

I reckon the best way to teach you to speak

is to keep talking to you and let you sort out the words

in your own good time.

This is called a saw,

and it's made from a single sheet of steel.

- Sheet of steel.

- [Rahhar] Yes, they take the sheet

and cut sharp teeth in it.

- Cut, cut sharp teeth.

- Mowgli!

Mowgli, come and help.

I can't carry this log by myself.

Can you help?

I just wanted help.

Show off!

There we are.

- [Rahhar] It smells delicious, Jumeirah, and I am hungry.

- Hey, aren't you eating?

Try it, it's good.

(cries)

Oh come on, it's not that hot.

Don't you like it?

It's my specialty.

Oh dear.

- The boy's not used to it.

He's never had hot food before.

- Because he grew up in the jungle?

- [Rahhar] That's right.

- [Jumeirah] That's strange to think of a human

eating the way animals do.

- It's true.

He's a human like us, but he's always lived in the jungle,

so he doesn't know our ways.

It's not that he's bad mannered.

He's just never had a chance to learn.

- Grandfather, do you think I could help him

to learn about human ways?

You must have liked it.

Do you want a second helping?

I'll dish it out for you, and you can eat your fill.

(Jumeirah giggles)

The river.

- The river.

- Good, the water.

- [Mowgli] The water.

- [Jumeirah] The clouds.

- The clouds.

- Blue sky.

- Blue sky.

- [Jumeirah] Flowers.

(Mowgli laughs)

- Flower.

- Beautiful flowers.

- Beautiful.

- Right, they're beautiful.

- Beautiful.

(Jumeirah laughs)

- Do you know what this place is called in human speech?

This is called the jungle.

- This is called the jungle.

- I am here with my friend Mowgli.

The two friends are together in the jungle.

- Two friends are together in the jungle.

You see how quickly you're learning?

It's great.

Jumeirah and Mowgli are friends.

- Jumeirah and Mowgli are friends.

(gentle music)

- Tell me, Mowgli, how come you grew up in the jungle?

Did you run away from your native village

when you were still a baby?

What happened?

Why don't you live with your mother and father?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

I just wondered, that's all.

Come on, let's practice some more.

That is the sun.

- [Mowgli] That is the sun.

- [Jumeriah] And, that is the jungle.

- [Mowgli] And, that is the jungle.

- [Jumeirah] The jungle is beautiful.

- [Mowgli] The jungle is beautiful.

- [Jumeirah] Beautiful.

(birds chirp)

(gentle music)

(Mowgli laughs)

- Well, have you seen any sign of Mowgli?

- Nothing yet, but this is the only way back to his lair.

- So, you think something strange is happening to Mowgli?

- I'm sure it is.

I'm sure something's happening to him.

He never used to disappear like this,

not telling us where he's going.

First he dances around like he can't keep still

and then he goes into a trance.

- I just don't understand.

It looks like he's keeping a secret,

or maybe he's in trouble, big trouble.

- Wait, I can see something coming.

Mowgli's coming home.

Mowgli.

- See ya later!

- [Bagheera] Hey, Mowgli.

Wait for us.

We want to talk to you!

- [Mowgli] What is it?

What's the matter?

- The matter?

Well, let's see.

We thought, well Mowgli it's...

With what's happening and all...

- Happening, what are you talking about?

- Well, if you must know...

- Spit it out!

- I am.

Problems, we're here if you ever have any, you know?

Troubles type of thing.

- Expressing a simple idea

in a straightforward manner is beyond you.

Allow me to clarify.

We have observed that your behavior

has been somewhat strange lately.

- Somewhat strange?

- Yes.

Kichi has been watching you.

He's said you've been acting so strangely lately

that he was sure something was happening to you.

Didn't you, Kichi?

- Right.

Tell us, Mowgli.

Where do you run off to every afternoon?

- Gee, where do I go?

I just wander around the jungle.

- You wander around?

Doing what?

- You keep your nose out of that, Bagheera.

I can do what I like.

- We're only trying to help.

- Why don't you just leave me alone?

I apologize for yelling at you.

I'm okay.

In fact, things are going really well.

I can't really talk about it now, but someday I will.

It's something I have to do on my own.

Please let me, Bagheera.

Don't be angry.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(Jumeirah laughs)

The jungle.

Up in the air.

(Mowgli yelps)

Running.

The river.

Blue sky.

- Why on earth is Mowgli running so fast?

Just where is he off to?

- Jumeirah?

Jumeirah?

Jumeirah?

I wonder where she is.

(Jumeirah laughs)

Jumeirah, Jumeirah?

I thought for sure she'd be here.

(Mowgli yelps)

Jumeirah?

- Sorry.

I didn't mean to frighten you like that.

(Jumeirah laughs)

Well, this is a nice surprise.

Now I'm kidding.

I was pretty sure you were going to come and visit me today.

- Thank you.

Thank you, Jumeirah.

- You sound so funny, Mowgli.

- Where is Grandfather Rahhar?

- Very good, you remembered a whole sentence.

Grandfather Rahhar went deep into the jungle this morning

to chop wood.

Do you want to come with me to help him?

Come on.

Jungle.

- Jungle.

- Flower.

- [Mowgli] Flower.

- [Jumeirah] Sky.

- [Mowgli] Sky.

- [Jumeirah] Clouds.

- [Mowgli] Clouds.

- [Jumeirah] Water.

- [Mowgli] Water.

- [Jumeirah] River.

- [Mowgli] River.

- [Jumeirah] What is my name?

- [Mowgli] Jumeirah!

(both laugh)

(dramatic music)

- Have you finally seen him?

- Mm-hmm.

I spotted the man cub running through the jungle

to Kendra Clearing.

- Was he alone?

- Mm-hmm.

- They say that humans sometimes go there.

They think they own the place.

They chop down the trees and set traps for us.

Why would Mowgli be going to Kendra Clearing?

- I have no idea, Shere Khan.

He's a little sneak.

Perhaps he thought the hunting would be good there.

- That's my territory.

The land beyond the river is my hunting ground.

If he hunts there, I'll destroy him.

- Please don't be angry.

I couldn't stop him.

- Be quiet!

(Tabaqui whimpers)

I, the great Khan, will brook no opposition.

Move, Tabaqui.

- Right with you.

Where are we going?

- We're going to track down that interfering man cub.

That little troublemaker won't be able

to escape me this time, and when I catch him

(Shere Khan slurps) goodbye.

- Yep, I wouldn't miss this fight for the world.

(Rahhar grunts)

(playful music)

- Ow!

Mowgli, slow down.

Don't pull so hard.

This isn't a contest.

You have to learn to pull with me.

Forward, back, forward, back, forward, back.

Now you try it.

- Forward, back, forward, back, forward, back.

- You've got it!

Come on, let's try together.

Up, let's go.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Good, keep going like that.

Great!

- Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

(Jumeirah laughs)

- Oh dear, I forgot I was going

to gather fruit this morning.

Mowgli, we'll finish this,

then you'll have to work by yourself for a while.

I have to go off and gather some fruit.

- Gather fruit?

- Mm-hmm, yes.

There are fruit trees down by the river.

That's the kind of food humans like to eat.

Okay, let's finish sawing this log.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

- Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

back and forth.

(both laugh)

- Back and forth, back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth - Back and forth.

- [Both] Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

- [Mowgli] Back and forth, back and forth.

(gentle music)

- There.

Oh.

(dramatic music)

- How much farther are we going?

- Not much.

Now, where did that boy, Mowgli, get to I wonder.

He must be around here somewhere.

This is the path to Kendra Clearing.

- I'm getting impatient.

Are you sure it was Mowgli you saw?

- Of course.

It must have been him.

It couldn't have been anyone else.

There couldn't be another man cub

who would run alone through the jungle.

(birds chirp)

Have you caught a scent?

- Shut your big yap.

What was that?

- It looks like a human girl child.

(Jumeirah giggles)

- Well Tabaqui, an unexpected little morsel.

- Can't resist, huh?

- Not on your life.

You don't think I'd pass up an opportunity

to get rid of a human.

(suspenseful music)

Tabaqui, you creep up from behind.

Don't you dare let her escape.

- Right, sir.

(Jumeirah gasps)

- Clumsy oaf.

- What was that?

I thought I heard an animal.

What was it?

It's gone now.

(Tabaqui sighs)

- That was close.

If she'd run away, Shere Khan would have taken it out on me.

(dramatic music)

(Jumeirah whimpers)

(Shere Khan roars)

- [Jumeirah] Help, help, help!

- It's Jumeirah.

Mowgli, wait for me!

(dramatic music)

(Jumeirah whimpers)

(Jumeriah screams)

(Shere Khan roars)

- Grandfather, help!

Mowgli!

- What's that?

She said Mowgli.

So, Mowgli is here too, is he?

So much the better.

I can polish them both off at the same time.

(Shere Khan roars)

- Hang on, I'll save you, Jumeirah!
