[post dance]

If you have ever stood in the pouring rain

The moon has not yet risen

There are no stars to brighten the sky.

Very carefully

Amongst all the other sounds of the night

Footsteps, coming through the darkness

And there...

And wading

Up to his chest

In treacherous swamps

And clambering

Watched by wild animals.

One of those wild animals

A tiger

Is following him.

And one

By one

Circled him

Sniffed at him

Wolves. Mowgli is one of you. Remember when you were growing up, how he played with you, like a brother.

But not one of the wolves spoke up.

Hey. It's Mr. Rules. Where did Mr. Grumpy go?

A dark shadow dropped down into the circle.

...Oh my, she seems to like the little guy. And look at him, not afraid of anything.

I know I have no right to speak here.

Why are you here?

To spite Shere Kahn. I hate bullies. If you let Shere Kahn kill this man cub, it will bring shame on you, shame on all of you. Let him stay and I'll give you a bull, freshly killed, a big fat bull, very tasty. You won't need to hunt for days.

Where is it?

There. / And the wolves ran off to fill their wolf bellies.

Thank you. Both of you. You saved my little Mowgli's life. Baloo, look after him. He needs to learn the ways of the jungle. Make sure he keeps away from Shere Kahn.

He has a dangerous enemy in that tiger.

I promise.

We both promise.

I'm sure you will.

We had better start straight away. He's following Shere Kahn!

...Whoops a daisy! Come back here. Come back! Bagheera, do something!

Do what you're told.

Oh my goodness, Bagheera, gently, gently. Don't shove him like that. You'll frighten him.

Sometimes it's good to be frightened. Keeps you out of harm's way.

Oh my days! Did you hear that! Did you hear him? He spoke! He spoke! He actually spoke. Oh my... Oh my goodness. He said Bear. He actually said bear.

I heard him.

It's exhausting bringing up little ones.

That's you all right. Big old bear.

Bear. Bear.

Panther.

Big old bear.

That's the bear.

I'm the bear. That's the panther. You're Mowgli.

I think he know's that Baloo.

We are going to be friends. Friends. Take my paw. Oh my, he's a man cub all right. Mind of his own. Quick and funny.

Yes, but he won't last long like that. Not if he's going to run with the pack. Not if he is going to survive the jungle. Not if he is going to stay safe.

Safe?

Yes, safe. The jungle can be a dangerous place, a very dangerous place. You have to respect it.

Listen to her, she knows what she's talking about. You show him, I'm just going to have a little lie down.

Mowgli, be still now, be still and listen. Listen...every rustle in the grass means something. Is it just the wind, or is there danger there? Every breath of the warm night air. Friend or foe? It all means something.




As the months passed, Mowgli grew older and stronger.

Where's he gone? Oh my goodness, he's been under too long...Oh no. Oh no no no... Where is he? I can't see him.

He's a good swimmer, but if you're worried, dive in and get him.

Me? Dive in?

Quick! Maybe he's caught in the weeds...

You think so.

Or been swallowed by a crocodile, or...

Oh my, oh my goodness. I thought you drowned. You scared me half to death. Now come here, come here.

And he swam almost as well as he could run.

Oh no you can't

Oh yes he can./Go!/ Go Mowgli go!

Come back here! Oh my. He is much faster than me. Much much faster.

He certainly is, now sit down and rest your bones you big old bear.

Big old bear.

Hey come on, leave the old guy alone. Show me what you do when you're hunting?

When I'm hunting, I must use the hunting call.

Which means?

Give me permission to hunt here.

Because?

Good morning everybody! Who's hungry? Come on, let's eat!

Wait, we're not finished. And the reply is?

Good...

But...

You can hunt for food but not for pleasure.

Good. Well done. You learn fast.

Climb? Can I climb?

Of course you can. Don't go too high, and any sign of Shere Kahn, get straight back here. Look at him go.

Oh my, you're being a bit hard on him, Bagheera. He's only a kid.

Better that I'm hard on him now than he get's hurt because he doesn't know how to look after himself. If he does get into trouble, I've taught him the Master Words of the Jungle so that he can ask for help from any of the animals.

You have? Oh my goodness, let's get him back here. I'd like to hear him do those.

Call Mowgli. We'll see if he can remember them.

Mowgli! Mowgli!

He won't have gone far. Mowgli!

Mowgli!

Mowgli!

Yeah, fun!

Time to come down!

We promise! We promise!

Mowgli. Now!

Oh my goodness, don't do that! You gave me a fright. You tricky little fellow. Where have you been all this time.

Where have you been?

Why did you call me? I was having fun.

We called you because Baloo wants to hear the words I taught you. The words you can use if you get into danger and need help.

I don't want to do words today.

They're important Mowgli.

I don't need to hear them now.

Yes you do.

Do I have to?

Yes.

Which ones. I can do them all.

The ones for the four footed hunters.

We are of one blood, you and I.

If he remembers these words he need never be alone. He will always be safe.

You won't have to be afraid of anyone or anything.

Except Shere Kahn and the wolf pack.

The wolf pack?

They're scared of Shere Kahn. He's a bully.

What do you mean?

What friends?

Not telling you. They said I could live up there with them.

Oh no.

And we'll laugh at you, laugh and laugh and laugh.

Have you been talking and playing with the monkeys?

The what?

The monkeys.
What monkeys?

I know you have. I'm not angry with you. I just want to give you some good advice. Listen to me. You have to keep away from them.

Of course they did, that's all they ever do. Play.

Everything's a game to them.

But they just do what they want, when they want. They don't care about anyone else.

Baloo and I, we look after you.

They said your lessons are silly.

Mowgli.

They are silly. Do this, do that.

Mowgli.

Yes, and they said they'll do whatever I tell them.

No no whatever they said...

They promised.

Whatever they promised. It won't happen.

It won't. You can't trust them.

Those monkeys can't concentrate on one thing for more than two seconds.

That's them. They haven't forgotten about me.

Ignore them.

I won't. Hey!

Ow!

Good shot.

You stop that.

It's not silly. They're just like me. They climb properly, using their arms. They've got long fingers like me, not claws like you two. I belong up there with them.

No you do not.

Serves you right! Now let me go!

Stop this nonsense, before I lose my temper.

Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

No.

I hate you! I hate you both!

Mowgli. Listen to me! Listen to me. I don't want to hear any more about the monkeys and from now on, I don't want you to have anything to do with them. Do you hear me? Mowgli, are you listening? Mowgli, it's for your own good.

Yes, I know.

Mowgli.

How are they silly? I'm doing my best, I'm trying to teach you useful things, things you need to know, but if it's all just silly...

Baloo.

All just a waste of time...

Baloo, you're a great teacher, relax, the monkeys have gone. Forget about them. Why don't we rest here in the shade until the sun has cooled?

Watching.

And waiting

And steal him away.

Yeah away from Baloo and Bagheera! Away from Baloo and Bagheera!

shh!

shh!

He didn't say anything.

He didn't say anything.

Shh!

Shh!

Stop. Just watch and wait.

What for?

For those three to fall asleep.

Which three?

And when they were close enough... Grab him!

Got you!

Not me, the man cub! Get his arms!

Got them.

Those are his legs.

Sorry.

What's happening?

Shhh.

What are you doing?

Shhh.

No buts.

Except mine!

We'll have a lot of fun.

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Can I still be your leader?

What?

...Leader of the Monkeys.

Leader of the Monkeys!

Er yeah. Everything. Won't we?

Yeah everything!

He's just like one of us!

One of us! One of us!

Look. Look!

Where?

Look! Down there. It's Baloo and Bagheera.

They're tiny.

They're not tiny, they're far away.

Ooh Baloo!

It doesn't matter. That bear's too big and lazy to come up here.

Ooh Baloo!

Shh!

But it's fun!

Yeah fun!

Ooh Baloo!

Quick, climb higher!

Look how sharp her teeth are.

Climb or you'll feel those feet in your butt.

I'm climbing. I'm climbing. We're better than you Bagheera. We're better than you!...




Bored now.

And me.

Bored. Bored. Bored.

You didn't say anything. Did he say anything?

I didn't hear him.

*We're bad*

While far below them, crashing through the jungle, came Bagheera.

Hurry hurry, we may still catch him.

Calm down.

Why, oh why didn't I keep a closer eye on him.

We have to make a plan.

...We promised we would look after him, we said we would keep him safe. Now the monkeys have him and they're not afraid of us.

Wait. I know someone they are afraid of. Someone who can help us.

Who?

Kaa, the rock snake.

Whoa no. She's kinda weird. Her eyes are wonky and she's got no feet. How can she possibly help?

The whisper of her name makes their wicked tails go cold.

I know how they feel.

She fixes them with her eyes.

Her wonky eyes.

They go into a trance. They're stuck. They can't move an inch, and they are at her mercy.

All right all right. Don't tell me anymore. Do you know where to find her?

Yes. But we had better hurry if we want to see Mowgli again.

No we don't

.Not if we don't want to.

Yes you do.

No we don't.

It's special to us.

Yeah. It's special to us.

Don't want.

Hide and what?

Yeah he is.

Your face is all red. Angry. Angry. Angry.

No I'll do it.

Let me

Who's nuts.

You're nuts! Nuts. Nuts. Nuts.

I don't want to be the leader anymore, none of you do what I want or listen to what I say.

I do. He said, he doesn't want to be the leader anymore.

Hisss.

In you go.

Not if the snakes get you first.

Chase me! Chase me! Last one to the top's a monkey.

We are monkeys.

Oh yeah!

Just then in the sky above Mowgli

Two vultures

Were circling

Shh I'm thinking

Were circling in the warm night air.

Got it! What kind of key opens a banana?

I don't know

A monkey! ha ha haa.

Did you hear that? Someone's in trouble.

Hey I got another one... what do you call a monkey with a banana in each ear.

oh hush!

anything you like, they can't hear you. Ha ha ha

Did you hear it that time?

Teatime? Good, I'm starving.

No. look. down there.

Not more monkeys. I've eaten enough of them. Wait. Look.

I am.

Down there. In the ruined city. It's a man cub.

I know.

He looks like he's in trouble.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Sssh! He's trying to tell us something.

please...somebody...ana looo ka nandaa ka ka

He's asking for help

yep. i heard him.

well come on, let's do something.

can you birds hear me?

we can!

Can you see me?

we can! we can!

They call me Mowgli. Please hurry.

we will! we will!

...Turned away! And flew out across the trees in search of Mowgli's two friends.

How do you catch a monkey.

I don't know. How do you catch a monkey?

Climb a tree and act like a banana.

...Admiring her beautiful new skin.

Good hunting to you, Kaa.

...what do you hunt?

we are hunting the monkeys.

when I have finished with those monkeys, they'll know the difference between a worm and a snake.

Kaa we need to go.

...up here, Bagheera! up here.

What is it?

i've seen Mowgli, your man cub.

Mowgli! where? where is he?

The ruined city.

Thank you.

It was the least i could do. we are of the same blood, he and I.

Yes! Now we must go.

The ruined city?

I know the way. It will take us a whole night travelling at full speed.

we should leave now.

let's go.

...i'll catch up as best I can.

And they're off! Bagheera hurries forward, but as fast as she goes, the huge snake keeps up with her.

they come to a stream.

Bagheera goes ahead, bounding across.

...slithering across the jungle floor at breakneck speed.

you are fast.

hey! where'd the moon go?

that same cloud was being watched by Bagheera and Kaa in a ruined ditch just below the city walls.

listen to those monkeysss.

There's hundreds of them.

Let's go. Let's teach them a lesson.

I'll rush them from here, you slither down that slope and surprise them from behind. We'll meet in the middle and look for Mowgli.

good hunting.

with a great roar, Bagheera charged into the crowd of monkeys.

Panthers are scary! Panthers are scary!

Let go!

Ha ha got you!

I am fighting for my life!

Then came the rumbling war cry of Baloo.

Baloo!

I hurried. I climbed.

Baloo!

I'm here and I'm completely out of breath.

A little help here? Knock knock.

Freedom!

School's out!/ Baloo look.

Monkeys.

Hundreds of them.

I'm exhausted. Where's Kaa?

I don't know!

Kaa was everything the monkeys feared.

and they ran.

you remembered the words Bagheera taught you.

And that's how we found you.

I promise, i promise I'll never ever do anything like that again.

I believe you.

The important thing is you're safe now.

But it's really Kaa you have to thank for that.

...move hand or foot without my order?

Without your order, we cannot move hand or foot.

Bagheera! Bagheera!

Thank you.

What was she doing?

she was hypnotising them, putting them into a trance. Now she can do whatever she wants with them.

...Come on, jump on my back and we'll leave this gloomy place.

Mowgli rested his head and slept so deeply, that he never woke.

not even once.

as they made their way through the jungle and away from the ruined city.




*Hush thee, my Mowgli/the night is behind us/ and black are the treetops/ that sparkled so green/ the moon o'er her shoulder/ looks downward to find us/ asleep/ in the arms of a sweet jungle breeze.

Baloo and Bagheera kept their promise to the old she wolf, the only mother he knew, and cared for the man cub as if he was our own.

Mowgli never again put himself in danger. The jungle became his home and he knew every inch of it. He was more like a wolf than the wolves themselves.

The rivers ran dry.

dust filled the air.

Scorching the land.

Where are you going?

to throw myself into what little water there is, to try and cool off.

No. Don't do that. That little trickle of water is all we have left to drink and we have to share it with all the animals in the jungle.

A man. You've killed a man.

When all of us are struggling for survival. You killed a man. We are all hungry, but we don't prey on each other in times of drought.

I'm going. I'm going. Soon man cub, it will be your blood that spills from my mouth and fouls your precious stream.

You must be wary of him.

Shere Kahn is all long tail and loud talk. I have the wolf pack and both of you to protect me.

Shere Kahn has been spreading rumors about you. Frightening the wolves into believing that a man has no place in the pack.

What's that to do with me?

Sooner or later, at the next council meeting or the one after that, Shere Kahn will ask the pack to hand you over to him, and they will do it.

What? They're my friends, my family.

Are they?

If Shere Kahn has his way, they may.

They're afraid of him.

You're right, he is afraid of fire, but we all are. Every animal lives in deadly fear of fire.

But the only place they grow fire is in the village where the men live.

I'll show them who Shere Khan really is.

It's too dangerous!!

...You know men care nothing for us and our ways, and he is a man!

a man! a man!

you're a man.

a man! a man!

And the wolf pack yelled

a man! a man! get rid of him! get rid of him!

But the wolf pack just sneered

a man! a man! get rid of him! get rid of him!

You break all the laws of the jungle.

And Shere Kahn backed away from the flame.

Now you want to kill another.

Closer and closer.

Never! I am Shere Kahn!

The furious tiger, preparing to leap at Mowgli

No. I have to leave. I have to go to the village.

If that's what you want.

That's where I belong.

Baloo and I will always be here for you. Come to the foot of the hill when you are fully a man and we will talk together.

I will. I will. I can't do it. I can't leave you. I can't say goodbye. I don't know how to.

Yes you do. Goodbye Mowgli.

I don't know what I'll find out there.

No, you don't, but you'll be alright.

Will you welcome Mowgli to the Man Village?

Come on Children of the Man Village
