‘It is nothing,’ said Baloo. ‘But you must thank Kaa. He has done must for you tonight.’
Mowgli turned and saw the head of the great python.
‘So this is the man-cub,’ said Kaa. ‘He is link the Bandar-log, but not the same. Be careful, man-cub, that I do not make a mistake when I am hunting monkeys.’
‘We are of one blood, you and I,’ Mowgli answered.
‘You have given me my life tonight. When I kill, it will be for you if you if you are hungry.’
‘Well spoken,’ said Baloo.
‘You are brave, young man,’ said Kaa, ‘and you speak well. Now go with your friends. The moon is going down. You must not see what will happen here next.’
