The Jungle book

A new start

"Come soon!" said Father Wolf. "Oh, wise little frog, come again soon; for we are old, your mother and I."

"Come soon," said Mother Wolf, "little naked son of mine. For, listen, child of man, I loved you more than ever I loved my cubs."

"I will surely come," said Mowgli. "And when I come it will be to lay out Shere Khan's hide upon the Council Rock. Do not forget me! Tell them in the jungle never to forget me!"

The dawn was beginning to break when Mowgli went down the hillside alone, to meet those mysterious things that are called men.
