Mowgli taunts Shere Khan and traps him
in the middle of the river. Mowgli charges the cattle to
stampede, and Shere Khan is trampled to death. When
Mowgli is skinning the tiger, Buldeo comes and tries to
take the tiger skin for himself. He can make good money
by selling it. But Mowgli and Akela scare Buldeo away.
Buldeo tells the villagers that Mowgli is not a boy and that
he has strange conversations with the wolves. The villagers
stop Mowgli from returning to the village. Now he is not
welcome anywhere. He is too much a man for the wolves
and too much a wolf for the men. However, he fulfils his
promise and drags the tiger skin up to the mountain cave.
He is welcomed back by his friends Bagheera and Akela
and a small group of cubs who will hunt with him in the
future.
