Summary ofThe Jungle BookBy: Emily S. and Lisa S.Mowgli's Brothers

The story starts out with a wolf pack that follows the Law of the Jungle. They hear news of how Shere Khan, the lame tiger, is hunting humans, which is against the Law of the Jungle because humans are defenseless. An Indian boy just learning to walk comes to the wolf family. Lovingly, the wolves take him into their den naming him Mowgli- the Frog. Shere Khan comes to the wolf den demanding the man-cub. The mother wolfs viciousness in protecting her family is the only thing that can scare him away. Although many wolves do not believe that a man-cub belongs in a wolf pack, Mowgli is accepted because of the word of Baloo the bear and a promise for meat from Bagheera the black panther. Mowgli grows up. At around the age of ten, Shere Khan starts gaining power again, vowing to kill Mowgli once the current wolf leader Akela falls. Once Akela misses his catch, Mowgli knows that Shere Khan will try to take control of the pack. So he rushes off to mans village and takes fire, the only thing that scares Shere Khan. Using the fire, he is able to defeat the tiger and save Akela. Mowgli continues to live with the wolves until he grows up and gets married.

Kaas HuntingBefore Mowgli fights Shere Khan, he lived happily in the jungle, learning the Law of the Jungle from Baloo the bear. Baloo teaches him how to talk to all of the animals of the jungle. Although Mowgli does not like his lessons at times, knowing this is vital to his survival. During one lesson, Baloo hits Mowgli because Mowgli doesnt want to listen. Mowgli runs off, and Bagheera the panther comes. He scolds Baloo for hitting Mowgli. When Mowgli returns, Baloo finds out that Mowgli was with the Monkey people or Bandar-log. The Bandar-log are the more despicable people because they live without law. Baloo tells Mowgli to never go near them again. While napping, the Bandar-log kidnap Mowgli and take him to a deserted Indian town. Baloo and Bagheera are really worried. They know the only animal the Bandar-log fear is Kaa, the snake. Baloo and Bagheera recruit his help to rescue Mowgli even though he is evil himself. With the help of Kaa, they are able to rescue Mowgli. But Baloo and Bagheera vow to never ask for Kaas help again due to his trickery.
