One day he saw Grey Brother under a tree near the jungle. ‘Shere Khan has come back, but he is hiding for a while. Then he is comeing to kill you,’ said Grey Brother.
‘Very good,’ said Mowgli. ‘Tell me when he comes. Meet me at the river, by the big dhak-tree with golden flowers. I will watch for you there every day.’
Day after day Mowgli went out with the herds, but there was nobody at the dhak-tree. Then at last the day came when Grey Brother was waiting for him.
