A man?
A man's cub?
A man?
I have never seen one.
He is all naked!
Give my prey back!
The man's cub is ours.
Do you not understand?
It is I, Shere Khan, who speak!
And it is I, Raksha the Demon, who answers!
The man's cub is mine, only mine!
Now get hence while you can!
We will see what the Pack will say
on the Council Rock.
And what the Jungle will say!
So this is the man's cub.
Now, was there ever a wolf
that could boast of a man's cub among her children?
I have heard now and again of such a thing...
But Shere Khan is right:
the cub must be shown to the Council.
Lie still, little frog!
Oh! Little frog!
Mowgli!
I will call you Mowgli the Frog!
- Mowgli! - Mowgli!
Mowgli.
Mowgli...
Well, but what the Pack will say?
A man's cub is living among the wolves!
We do not care. - Do not care. - Do not care.
- A frog! - A man's cub! - Mowgli!
- Bananas! - Bananas!
Sahi! Sahi!
- Sahi! - Sahi! - Sahi!
- Phew. - Phew.
In the wolf pack, a man's cub appeared!
Mowgli appeared!
A man!
So what?
"So what"! Shame to the Jungle!
Stop chattering.
O magnificent Bagheera! Just who I was looking for.
Can you imagine? In the wolf family, a man lives!
A man? This is interesting.
And where did he come from?
He is the prey of Shere Khan.
What!?
This butcher is hunting men again?!
This is where Sahi the Porcupine passed through.
Whoever will be the first
to pick up the correct trail
and find Sahi —
The wolves have adopted a man!
Have adopted a man!
I told you to FIND Sahi, not CATCH him.
You never listen.
How many times do I have to say?
Wolves! A man!
Wolves!
You are a Free People!
But one of your families
gave shelter to a man!
- Shame!
- Shame on the Jungle!
- A man in the Pack!
- Throw him out! - Out! - Out!
Quiet! Quiet!
Shame, that's what I said.
- How can it be?
- What will happen now? - A man among us!
Enough! Calm down! Whatever the Pack Council says, will be.
They are coming!
I think that —
Look — look well, Wolves.
Why not? They are good hunters.
But there is a man among them.
I am against the man.
Yes, they will become good hunters,
but the man must go back to his own pack.
Who speaks for the man?
Who else speaks for this cub?
He is my prey.
Give him back!
Who speaks out for the cub?
He will not be killed! He will live!
Let this be my last fight, but he will live!
A man, a man's cub, Mowgli...
I speak for the cub.
He will do good for the Pack.
I myself will teach him.
He is my prey.
Who speaks besides Baloo?
Give back —
Akela,
and you, the Free Tribe:
the Law of the Jungle says —
Everyone for himself! That is the Law of the Jungle!
Everyone for himself!
- Right! - Correct! - Everyone for himself!
Quiet! Quiet! What are you, man-eaters?
Only Shere Khan and his scrap-fed jackal are capable of that.
- Yes. - Yes. - Rght. - Correct.
The Law of the Jungle says
that the life of the cub
may be bought at a price.
- Go on. - Speak. - Speak, Bagheera.
To the word,
I will add one bull.
- Right. - It is the Law. - Correct.
The bull newly killed by me.
What do you say, O Wolves?
What matter? Let him run with the Pack.
Anyway, he will... he will scorch in the sun.
He will die in the winter rains.
Where is the bull, Bagheera?
There, on the river bend.
I won't be long.
I'll just see where they're going.
Let Mowgli run with the Pack.
Train him well, Father Wolf.
Let it be.
Still, no one escapes me!
Keep roaring,
for the time will come when he will pull your whiskers,
or I know nothing of man.
This is the first of the Mowgli stories.
