The Jungle Book (novel)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When Shere Khan demands that the "man cub" that has crawled into the den of Mother and Father Wolf be returned to him. "It is I, Shere Khan, who speaks!" Mother Wolf says, "And it is I, Raksha (the demoness) who answers." Her answer is no.
  • Kaa's introduction story. The plot summary is that Mowgli is kidnapped by the Bandar-log (i.e., monkeys) and Bagheera asks Kaa for help since he's the only creature they really fear in the jungle. When they get in the Bandar-log's place (an abandoned rock temple), they have trapped the boy inside a rocky room full of venomous snakes. How does Kaa gets the boy out? By ramming his head on the wall until it falls! And after all is done and the boy saved, he starts an intricate dance that somehow gets the Bandar-log to approach. When they're close enough and the rest of the good guys are far away, he starts the "Dance of Hungry Kaa".
