  • Instead of eating the yummy baby, though, the wolves take him in.
  • He's being pursued by the tiger Shere Khan, and Mother Wolf taunts Shere Khan, saying one day Mowgli will grow up and kill him.
  • Mowgli grows into a naked boy, getting accepted by the Wolf Pack and trained in the ways of the jungle by Baloo.
  • But Shere Khan plots to get Mowgli kicked out of the pack, and Bagheera advises Mowgli to live in the village of men.
  • Mowgli moves in with Messua, a village woman, who gives him a loincloth because he reminds her of her dead son.
  • While herding buffalo, Mowgli seizes the opportunity to trample Shere Khan to death.
  • He skins Shere Khan, even though the village's main hunter wants the skin.
  • Buldeo, the hunter, kicks Mowgli out of the village.
  • Wearing Shere Khan's hide, Mowgli returns to the jungle to tell the wolves Shere Khan is dead.
