Extract from the book

The wolves saw a little boy. He was outside the cave and he looked at them.

“Is that a child?” Mother Wolf asked.

“Yes, it is,” said Father Wolf. “Look, he isn’t afraid of us.”

Mowgli lives with the wolves in the jungle.

He makes friends with the animals – Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther, Kaa the snake and others.

But … Shere Khan the tiger wants to kill him!
