THAT HE SANG AT THE COUNCIL ROCK WHEN HE
DANCED ON SHERE KHAN’S HIDE
The Song of Mowgli — I, Mowgli, am singing. Let the jungle
listen to the things I have done.
Shere Khan said he would kill — would kill! At the gates in the
twilight he would kill Mowgli, the Frog!
He ate and he drank. Drink deep, Shere Khan, for when wilt thou
drink again? Sleep and dream of the kill.
I am alone on the grazing-grounds.
Gray Brother, come to me!
Come to me, Lone Wolf, for there is big game afoot!
