(birds twittering)

(shouts)

(birds cackle)

- So you really think it's funny, donchya!

Oh!

It's my turn to laugh. Here!

Hooray, two birds with one shot, yay!

Oh!

(bird tweets)

(laughs) So you're still laughing at me, huh?

I'll show you it wasn't luck.

(bird twitters)

I missed.

(clang)

Ah, my head.

Yay!

Hey!

(smack)

(Baloo groans)

I'm sorry Baloo!

Yay!

Hey, look at this, isn't it great?

I got two of them in one shot.

- Mowgli, you should've come to me

for your lesson before going out hunting.

- Huh, but I got two of them with one shot.

- But you must learn to listen to the sounds in the wind.

It has many secrets to tell.

- I didn't mean to hurt you.

- It's all right.

Never forget, when the sound of leaves

being walked on is light, it means it's a rabbit.

Then the sound of twigs cracking in the underbrush

means it's a baby deer.

- Wait a minute, Baloo.

I don't need any lessons, not now that I have this.

- But it's very important to recognize your enemies.

- Well I'm not afraid of anything as long as I have this.

And not even Shere Khan would dare...

- (groans) Mowgli!

- [Bagheera] That's telling him Mowgli.

- Hey, Bagheera! Take a look at these!

I got the two of them in a single shot!

- Mmm, that's very good Mowgli.

- Bagheera please don't interfere.

I'm trying to teach Mowgli to listen

to the sounds in the wind, okay?

- Has he told you always to approach from downwind?

That way you can even fool the old-timers.

- And who are you calling an old-timer?

- I'm not calling anyone an old-timer,

it's just that everyone in the jungle knows

that it's not the sound,

but always the smell that comes first.

- What?

The smell doesn't come first!

You have to learn about the different sounds.

- You teach about smell because

when you get older, you get hard of hearing.

- What are you insinuating?

That I'm getting hard of hearing?

Now you listen Bagheera, I want you

to get this straight once and for all.

I'm Mowgli's teacher and not you, do you hear that?

- [Bagheera] All I'm saying Baloo,

is that your method is old fashioned.

Mowgli should be taught using modern teaching method.

- [Baloo] You and your new-fangled ideas.

- Mother, Akru, Sura!

(mother dog growling)

(Akru & Sura whining)

- Akru! Sura!

(mother dog growling)

- Oh, what's going on?

There's something wrong.

- Mother, what have we done?

- I told you to leave, now go away!

- Uh oh, Mother, what's wrong?

(mother dog growling)

- Stop Mother, what's the matter?

- Mother wants us to leave the lair for no reason at all.

- Mother, won't you tell us why?

- I don't need to have a reason.

Now you be on your way!

From now on, you'll have to live in your own lair.

- Mother!

- Mowgli, you keep out of this.

I told you, hurry up and go!

- But Mother!

- Do as I say or you'll regret it.

- I don't understand, but if you've made up your mind,

I guess we have no choice, Sura.

(mother dog growling)

(Akru & Sura yelping)

- Goodbye Akru, goodbye Sura!

Mother, tell me what happened.

Why did you chase them away?

- I chased them away because they're grown up now.

- So what if they're grown up.

Why do they have to go, we're a family, aren't we?

- Because it's the law of the jungle.

- The law of the jungle?

(dramatic music)

(Mowgli sniffing)

- It's not the law of the jungle.

There must be a reason, there must.

(baby boar grunting)

- Out of the way!

(mother boar grunting)

- I wasn't gonna harm your baby.

I'm in a hurry, please let me go by.

(yells)

(yells)

- Hmm, she's a loving mother.

She defended her baby the way parents are supposed to.

(wolf howling)

- Hmm, that's the signal to assemble, whoa!

(dramatic music)

Akru, Sura!

- Mowgli, did Mother say anything after we left?

- She said it was the law,

but I don't understand what she means.

- It's strange that she'd be

so angry with us without explaining.

Hey, Sura and I went hunting today.

- And Akru and I caught our first deer on our own.

We ran straight home to tell her.

- Instead of praising us, she told us to leave the lair.

- You caught your first deer?

- [Sura] Yes, that's it!

Mother knows we're grown up wolves now.

- So she wasn't angry with us.

All it means is that Mother knows

that it's time for Sura and me to live on our own.

- Well if you're grown up, then I must be, too.

After all, I got two birds with one shot, didn't I?

So I don't see...

- [Wolf] Shh!

- I have good news for all of us.

According to our look-out's report,

over 50 buffalo have been sighted

moving into our hunting grounds.

(wolves exclaiming)

The sun is still up, but we can't wait till dark.

It's been a long time since we've had such a large hunt.

All of you who are brave enough, come forward.

Sura, Akru, what are you doing here?

This isn't the rabbit hunt.

- Today Sura and I caught our very first deer.

- That's very good.

You go with the chasers, right up front.

As of today, Sura and Akru

are considered to be adult wolves.

- Then I am, too!

- Mowgli, why did you come forward?

This isn't just another bird hunt, you know.

- If you can hunt buffalo, so can I, 'cause I'm grown up.

(wolves laughing)

- Mowgli, go and sit down.

- Oh, is Mommy's little Mowgli a naughty boy?

- Enough of that Lala.

- All right, but I'm sure he can't even catch a rabbit.

- Please Akela, let me go in front with the chasers.

I know I can do it!

- Mowgli!

- I'm grown up, too, I'm ready now.

- No you're not ready, Mowgli.

- I am, too, Akela.

- All right, you can come.

- Fine then, I respect your decision.

But I'll prove to everyone

that I'm a better hunter than he is.

- The matter is settled.

Mowgli and Lala will set the trap.

(buffalo mooing)

- Sura, Akru, this is what we'll do.

There's calf in the middle and to the right,

there's an injured bull sitting in the grass.

Those are the ones we go for.

- [Akru & Sura] Got it.

- All right, here we go.

(dramatic music)

- It's all your fault that we have to set the trap.

- Be quiet, he herd is starting to move.

- You don't have to tell me, I can see for myself, you know.

(hooves pounding)

(buffalo mooing)

- We have the two we want, open the path for the herd.

- Open the path for the herd.

- Open the path for the herd.

- Why did he only attack the weak ones?

- Mowgli, didn't you hear, they said to open a path?

- Hmm?

I'm not going to attack the weak ones,

I'll get that big strong one

to prove to everyone that I'm full-grown.

- Mowgli, we have to open a path, get out of the way.

(Mowgli yells)

- Ha, I'll show you!

(screams)

- Mowgli!

(crash)

(groans)

- You'll be all right now.

- Did we get the buffalo?

- No, not even one because you disobeyed orders.

- Huh?

- Is it still bad, Mowgli?

- Don't worry Lala, he'll be fine, run along.

- Who's worrying, I'm not worrying.

I'll never take you hunting again

as long as I live, so there.

- Mowgli, why did you do such a foolish thing

ignoring the rules of the hunt?

- I wanted to show them that I was grown up too, Mother.

- You're not, my little man-cub.

You're not grown up yet.

- Huh?

- You are different from the rest of them.

If you were covered with thick fur like the others,

you wouldn't have been injured like this.

Do you understand?

- No, I don't understand.

Do you mean that just because I'm not covered in fur

and I don't have any sharp fangs,

that I'll never be grown up, is that it?

So I'll never be allowed to hunt.

It doesn't matter how hard I try.

(mother wolf sighs)

I don't understand.

Why does the wolf pack hunt the weak and injured animals?

I'm gonna catch some big game all on my own.

That'll show them.

(bees buzzing)

- Ha (slurping)!

Huh?

Hmm, Tabaqui's picked up someone's scent.

Huh? Is it Mowgli?

Yep, that's him.

(dramatic music)

- I'll wait right here.

Something big is sure to come along.

- Well well, will you look who's here.

If it isn't Mowgli.

- Tabaqui, it's you.

I don't like jackals, so go away.

Go away and leave me alone!

- Don't be afraid, I see you're hurt.

- I'm not afraid of you, I'm out hunting

and you're in my way, so get out of here!

- Oh, what a coincidence, I'm out hunting, too.

- But you're a scavenger, you don't hunt.

- Aren't you the clever one.

Yes, I'm a scavenger, but I'll make a little effort

for something specially tasty.

- You're not a fair hunter Tabaqui,

you're always sneaking around.

- In hunting, anything is fair.

That is the law of the jungle.

(shouts)

(groans)

(laughs)

(Mowgli yells)

Now I've got you where I want you.

(Tabaqui shouts)

- Hmm?

(Tabaqui shouts)

(Mowgli yells)

If you think I'm afraid of you, you're wrong!

- (laughs) You can't escape, you might as well give up.

(Tabaqui gasping)

- (groans) My side (groans).

(Tabaqui laughs)

(gasps)

(yells)

(Mowgli yells)

(laughing)

(laughing)

(crash)

(grunts)

- Gotchya!

(Tabaqui growling)

- I'm warning you, go!

(Tabaqui growls and shouts)

(Mowgli yells)

(Tabaqui growling)

(groans)

(laughs)

(Mowgli yells)

(grunting)

- Oh, that was too close.

I'm gonna get you this time!

Now I'm really mad.

(Tabaqui shouts)

(Mowgli yells)

(Tabaqui growls)

(Mowgli yells)

(growling)

- Oh, what'll I do?

(Tabaqui growls)

(Mowgli yells)

(crash)

- Huh? Oh Bagheera!

- What are you doing in my hunting grounds, Tabaqui?

- I'm sorry, I wasn't trying

to hunt in your grounds, Mr. Bagheera, sir.

- Bagheera!

- I heard what happened at the hunt today.

You tried to show off.

- Mowgli!

You all right?

Oh Bagheera, did you hear that Mowgli had been hurt?

Or have you been following him around all day

like an old worry wart?

- Huh? I am not following him.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Speaking of worry warts.

- Well I'm, Mowgli isn't fully trained

in the ways of the jungle,

so as a responsibility of the teacher...

Are you badly hurt, Mowgli?

- (laughs) Huh-uh.

- Sorry to say, but it was your bad training

that got Mowgli into this dreadful mess in the first place.

How much of the law of the jungle have you taught him?

- How much is there to learn?

- Uh huh, I should've known.

You haven't taught him the most important thing.

Now listen Mowgli, the first rule

in the law of the jungle is the survival of the fittest.

We must do nothing to endanger the survival of any species.

- I don't understand what you mean.

- Give up Bagheera, you're talking way over his head.

The survival of the fittest is a simple way of saying

that in the jungle, only the strongest,

healthiest, smartest members of any species can survive.

And hunters must only take weak or injured animals.

Strong animals have strong, healthy children

and the species will survive.

- But if hunters take the strongest buffalos away,

the herd will get weaker and weaker.

Eventually the herd will disappear

and then there'll be nothing left for us to hunt.

- So we can't take the strong ones.

- That's it, Mowgli, excellent.

- You've learned an important lesson today.

All of us here in the jungle have to learn

to live in harmony with each other.

You don't have to like everybody,

but you have to respect them.

- Respect?

- Mmm hmm, when you respect every other creature's

right to survive, you'll be grown up.

- [Sura] Mowgli! Mowgli!

- [Akru] Where are you Mowgli?

- Sura, Akru! There you are!

- [Akru] Ah, you're safe!

Why did you run away?

- We were so worried, we looked everywhere for you.

- Mowgli.

- Oh Mother (laughs)!

- I'll go and tell Akela he's safe.

- And I'll go and tell the others.

- Doesn't look like we're needed around here anymore.

- Oh, but you haven't been needed since the beginning.

- I got here in time to save Mowgli, you old slowpoke.

- Are you calling me a slowpoke?

Race ya!

- [Bagheera] Race? You're too old to race anymore.

- Whaddya mean, I'm too old?

- [Bagheera] Why don't you act your age?

- [Baloo] (laughs) Look who's talking!

They say you can only catch small game now.

- [Bagheera] What? I caught a wild board yesterday!

- [Baloo] (laugh) Musta been a...

- Mowgli, one of these days you will have to leave

and go away on your own.

But not for awhile yet, not yet, no.

My little one.

(jungle sounds)

- Here's how to catch the smell of the jungle.

First you turn your nose upward

and you find the smell in the wind.

- Huh?

(bees buzzing)

(smack)

- The smell of the jungle.

Oh, no! That's the smell of honey!

Mmm!

Huh?

Hey Mowgli! He tricked me again.

(laughing)

- I'll race you!

(happy music)
