Kaa's First Encounter

(Mowgli rides on Bagheera's back while he is walking)

Mowgli: Bagheera, I'm getting a little sleepy. Shouldn't we start back home?

Bagheera: Mowgli, this tim we're not going bac. I'm taking you to a man-village.

Mowgli: But why?

Bagheera: Because Shere Khan has returned to this part of the jungle...(Bagheera jumps to the other edge)...and he has sworn to kill you.

Mowgli: Kill me? But why would he want to do that?

Bagheera: He hates man. And Shere Khan is not going to allow you to grow up to become a man,...(Mowgli gets off his back)...just another hunter with a gun.

Mowgli: Aw, we'll just explain to him that I'd never do a thing like that.

Bagheera: Nonsense. No one explains anything to Shere Khan. (Mowgli throws a stick to the ground)

Mowgli: (sweeps the ground with his bare foot) Well, maybe so, but I'm not afraid. And besides, I...

Bagheera: Now, that's enough. We'll spend the night here. Things will look better in the morning. (Mowgli looks back) Man Cub? Man Cub! (Mowgli turns back to Bagheera) Now, come on. Up this tree. It's safer up there.

Mowgli: Uh...I don't wanna go back to the man-village.

Bagheera: Go on. Up you go.

Mowgli: That limb way up there?

Bagheera: That's right. (Mowgli jumps on the tree and begins to climb) (Laughing) Is that all better you can climb?

Mowgli: (grunts) It's too big and around. And besides, I don't have any claws.

(Mowgli falls down but lands on Bagheera's paw and he helps him climbing when he grunts before Mowgli falls down again)

Mowgli: Yeow-ohh!

(Mowgli grabs on Bagheera, who snarls)

(Mowgli begins trying to climb again and Bagheera grunts)
