Mowgli set off towards the village. A young girl had just come out of the village gate with a pot of fire. Mowgli raced down the hill, snatched the pot away from the girl and disappeared into the jungle. The girl screamed and ran back into the village.

Bagheera was waiting for him.

“Quickly feed it with dry sticks,” he said. “That is what they do in the village.”

Mowgli collected a pile of dry sticks and kept feeding the fire. He carried the red flower, as Bagheera called it, to the Council Rock. Shere Khan was already there.

Mowgli asked the wolf pack, “Are you going to make a tiger your leader? Is he one of you?”

“You are not one of us,” shouted a young wolf. “Then why are you with our pack?”

“Leave the man-cub to me,” growled Shere Khan.

Before anyone could speak, Mowgli picked up his pot of fire and fed it with lots of dry sticks. The fire flared up. He laughed out loudly when he saw Shere Khan jump up and run behind a rock.

“Have you seen how brave your Shere Khan is?” he asked the pack. The wolves too, were trying to get as far away from the fire and Mowgli as they could.

Mowgli said, “I can see that you do not want me with you. I am leaving, but I shall come back, and when I do, I shall come with Shere Khan’s skin.”

He threw some burning sticks at Shere Khan. The tiger disappeared into the jungle. The young wolves hurried behind him.
