Original story:

3 Kaa's huntingc Ka'a hunting

Bagheera and Kaa were also watching that cloud．They were now outside the city walls，but they knew they had to be careful．There were only two of them，and there were hundreds of monkeys．

At this time, Bagra and Kaa were also looking at the clouds. They were outside the walls now, but they knew they had to be careful. There were only two of them, and there were hundreds of monkeys.

‘They are over there by that house，talking about the boy，’said Bagheera．‘When the cloud hides the moon，I will attack them．’

"They were right over there in that house, talking about the child," said Bagra, "and when the clouds obscured the moon, I began to attack." ”

‘I will go to the higher ground at the west wall，’Kaa said，‘and come down the hill very fast．Good hunting！’

"I went up to the high ground on the western wall," said Kaa, "and then quickly came down from the mountain and wished us good luck!" ”

The black panther ran quickly to the crowds of monkeys and started hitting，right and left，as hard as he could．The monkeys screamed angrily，but then one of them shouted，‘There is only one here！Kill him！Kill！’And a crowd of monkeys jumped on Bagheera，biting and pulling．Another group pulled Mowgli up a wall and pushed him over．He fell down into a dark room which had no doors or windows，and he could not get out．‘ Stay there，’shouted the monkeys，‘until we have killed your friend．And then we will play with you，if the snakes leave you alive．’

I saw the panther rush into the monkey group and began to fight desperately left and right. Angry screams rang out from the monkeys. Suddenly a monkey cried out, "He's the only one!" Kill him! kill! So a group of monkeys jumped on Bagra's body and began to pull and bite at him. Another group of monkeys pulled Mowgli to a wall and pushed him down. He fell into a dark room with no doors or windows and couldn't get out. "Stay well," cried the monkeys, "until we slaughter your friend." If the snake can give you a way to live, we will come and play with you. ”

Mowgli heard hissing sounds in the darkness around him．‘We are of one blood，you and I，’he said，quickly giving the Snakes' Call．

In the darkness, Mowgli heard hissing noises all around him. "You and I are in the same blood." As he spoke, he quickly let out the cry of a snake.

‘Sssss，’the snakes replied．‘We will not bite you，but stand still，Little Brother，because your feet can hurt us．’

"Hiss," replied the snakes, "we won't bite you, but you'll have to stand still, little brother, because your feet will hurt us." ”

Mowgli stood very still and listened to the fight around Bagheera．For the first time ever，the big panther was fighting for his life．Then Mowgli remembered something．There was a big tank of water near one of the buildings．

Mowgli stood there motionless, his ears listening to Bagra's battle outside. For the big black panther, he was still fighting for his life for the first time in his life. Suddenly Mowgli remembered something. There is a big water tank near a house.

‘Go to the tank，Bagheera！Get to the water！’

"Go over there to the tank, Bagra!" There's water there! ”

Bagheera heard and he knew that Mowgli was safe．Suddenly he felt stronger and he pulled himself slowly to the tank，fighting against the crowds of monkeys．

Bagla heard this and knew that Mowgli was safe. Suddenly, he felt stronger, so he slowly moved towards the water tank while fighting the monkeys.

Then Baloo came running in from the jungle，shouting，‘Bagheera，I am here！’At once the monkeys jumped on him，and the bear started to hit them with his great strong arms．Mowgli heard a splash when Bagheera jumped into the tank．The monkeys were afraid of water and could not follow him there．But they stood all round the sides，ready to jump on him if he tried to get out and help Baloo．

Just then, Baru arrived from the forest. He shouted, "Bagra, here I come!" The monkeys immediately pounced on him, and the brown bear began to wave its strong arms and the monkeys fought. Mowgli heard the sound of water splashing, and it turned out that Bagla had jumped into the tank. The monkeys were afraid of the water, so they did not dare to jump with him. But they surrounded the water tanks, ready for Bagra to pounce on him as soon as he came out to help Baru.

And where was Kaa all this time？It was a hard climb up to the west wall，and Kaa moved carefully over the stones．Now he came down the hill very quickly，hungry and wanting to kill．Kaa was ten metres long，heavy and strong．He went silently into the crowd of monkeys around Baloo，and he did not need to hit twice．

So where was Kaa during this time? It wasn't easy to climb the western wall, and Ka'ad carefully walked through the stones. Hungry now, he rushed down the mountain, ready to kill. Kaa is ten meters long and strong. He slipped quietly into the group of monkeys surrounding Baru, a must-hit for him.

When they are very young，monkeys are told about Kaa，the silent thief who can kill the strongest monkey．All monkeys are afraid of Kaa．Now they ran，with shouts of‘It's Kaa ！Run！Run！’

Since childhood, the monkeys have heard the story of Kaa. The snake is said to be a silent thief capable of killing the strongest monkeys. All the monkeys were afraid of Kaa. I saw them flee in all directions, and their mouths kept shouting, "It's Kaa!" Come on! Come on! ”

Then Kaa opened his mouth for the first time and spoke one long hissing word．The monkeys were suddenly silent and still，and nothing moved in the city．

Kaa opened his mouth for the first time and let out a long hissing sound. The monkeys suddenly fell silent and motionless. The whole city is like a pool of stagnant water.

Bagheera pulled himself out of the tank．‘Get the man-cub out and let us go，’he said．‘I can't fight any more．And the monkeys will attack us again．’

Bagla struggled to get out of the tank. "Let that kid out and let us go," he said, "I can't move, the monkeys will attack us again." ”

‘They will not move until I tell them to move，’said Kaa．

"If I don't let them move, they won't move." Kaa said.

‘We must thank you，Kaa．We could not do it without you，’said Baloo．

"We really appreciate you, Kaa. We certainly wouldn't be able to do it without you. Baru said.

‘I am happy to help．Where is the man-cub？’said Kaa．

"It was a pleasure to be able to help. Where is the child? Kaa asked.

‘Here！In this room，but I cannot get out．’

"Here it is! It's in this room, but I can't get out. ”

‘Take him away，’called the snakes around Mowgli．‘He dances around too much and he will stand on us．’

"Take him away," cried the snakes around Mowgli, "and he'll always turn around, and he'll step on us." ”

‘Stand back，man-cub，’said Kaa．‘I will break the wall．’

"Back off, kid," Kaa said, "I'll break this wall." ”

With two metres of his heavy body off the ground，Kaa hit the wall very hard，five or six times．A hole opened，and Mowgli jumped quickly through it．He ran and put his arms around Baloo and Bagheera．

Kaa lifted his heavy body two meters high and slapped the wall hard. Five or six times later, a hole appeared in the wall, and Mowgli quickly jumped out of it. He ran to Baru and Baghella and hugged them.

‘Are you hurt？’asked Baloo．

"Are you hurting?" Baru asked.

‘Not much，’said Mowgli，‘but the Bandar-log have hurt you badly，my friends．’

"It's okay," said Mowgli, "but Bandalo has hurt you not so badly, my friends." ”

‘It is nothing，’said Baloo．‘But you must thank Kaa．He has done much for you tonight．’

"That's fine," Said Baloo, "but you have to thank Kaa." In order to save you, he can do a lot tonight. ”

Mowgli turned and saw the head of the great python．

Mowgli turned and saw the python's head.

‘So this is the man-cub，’said Kaa．‘He is like the Bandar-log，but not the same．Be careful，man-cub，that I do not make a mistake when I am hunting monkeys．’

"It seems that this is the child of mankind," Kaa said, "and he is somewhat similar to Bandalo, but not different." Be careful, child, don't hurt you by mistake when I kill the 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 are hungry．’

"You and I are by blood," replied Mowgli, "and tonight you saved me, so if you are hungry in the future, what I have caught will belong to you." ”

‘Well spoken，’said Baloo．

"Well said." Baru said.

‘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．’

"You're brave, young man," said Kaa, "and you're right. Now go with your friends. The moon is about to set, and you can't see what's next. ”

Slowly，never hurrying，Kaa went softly out in front of the lines of sitting monkeys and began to dance．His head moved from right to left，and his long body turned this way and that way，making circles that changed every second．

Kaa gently slid up to the monkeys sitting in front of the rows of monkeys and began to dance calmly. His head swayed from side to side, and so did his long body, swirling in circles before their eyes, in a different posture every second.

Baloo and Bagheera stood and could not move．Mowgli watched，and did not understand．

Baloo and Bagra remained there motionless, and Mowgli watched in puzzlement.

‘Bandar-log，’said the deep voice of Kaa at last．‘Can you move？’

"Bandalo," finally, Kaa asked in a low voice, "can you move?" ”

‘Without a word from you，Kaa，we cannot move．’

"You don't speak, Kaa, we can't move."

‘Come nearer to me，’said Kaa．

"Get closer to me." Kaa said.

The lines of monkeys came nearer，and Baloo and Bagheera walked forward，too．

Rows of monkeys approached Kaa, and Baloo and Bagra also took a few steps forward.

‘Nearer，’hissed Kaa，and they all moved forward again．

"Closer." Kaa let out a hissing sound. Together, they moved forward a few steps.

Mowgli put his hands on Baloo and Bagheera to get them away，and the two animals woke up．

Mowgli put his hand on Baru and Bagra and tried to pull them away. The two of them suddenly woke up.

‘Keep your hand on me，Mowgli，’whispered Bagheera，‘or I will go back to Kaa，and walk into his mouth．’

"Put your hand on me, Mowgli," Bagla said softly, "or I'll walk back to Kaa and walk all the way into his mouth." ”

‘It's only old Kaa dancing，’said Mowgli．‘Let us go．’And the three of them went away into the jungle．

"Old Kaa is just dancing," said Mowgli, "let's go." With that, the three of them turned and walked into the forest.

‘A python's dance is dangerous to watch，’said Baloo，‘even for us．Kaa will have good hunting tonight．’

"Watching pythons dance is a dangerous thing," Baru said, "even for us." Kaa can have a full meal tonight. ”

‘And now，Mowgli，’said Bagheera angrily．‘Baloo and I have fought hard for you．The monkeys have bitten us and pulled us and hit us．And all this，man-cub，was because you played with the Bandar-log．’

"Well, Mowgli," Said Bagra angrily, "Baloo and I fought desperately to save you. The monkeys bit and pulled and punched us. It's all because you— the human child — play with Bandalo. ”

‘It is true，’said Mowgli sadly．‘I am a bad man-cub．’

"Indeed," said Mowgli sadly, "I am a bad boy. ”

‘The Law of the Jungle says we must punish you，’said Bagheera．Baloo was happy that Mowgli was safe and with them again，but he could not speak against the Law．

"According to the 'Law of the Forest'. We must punish you. Bagla said. Baru was happy to see Mowgli return safely, but he couldn't break the "law of the forest" either.

‘It is right to punish me，’said Mowgli．‘I did wrong．’

"I should have been punished," Mowgli said, "and I did something wrong." ”

Bagheera hit him，very softly for a panther，but very heavily for a little boy．Mowgli did not cry．

Bagla hit him. For a black panther, this is very light, but for a small child, this is very heavy. Mowgli didn't cry.

‘Now，’said Bagheera，‘jump on my back，Little Brother，and we will go home．’

"Well," said Bagra, "jump on my back, little brother, and we're home." ”

One of the good things about Jungle Law is that，after you are punished，the matter is finished．

One of the benefits of the Forest Law is that once you're punished, it's over.
