Story

Once a upon a time, there lived a kid named 'Mougli' in the forest, with a Black Panther named Bagheera. Bagheera was giving practice how to live in a forest, after that Bagheera sent Mougli to a Wolf Family. The Mom's name is Raksha and the Father's name is Akela, who is the ruler of the forest. There was also a dangerous Tiger named Shere Khan which always tries to kill Mougli. 

There was no rain for a long time in the forest. The forest got very dry. If it becomes like that, the rule in the forest is they will not kill any animal or human. But they will drink only water. 

One day all the animals gathered near the lake to drink water. Suddenly there came a strange noise, Akela said to Mougli to stand behind the rock he was standing. Shere Khan didn't follow the rule. He wants to eat Mougli. They all got angry over Shere Khan the Tiger and so he went away. 

After a few days, there came heavy rain again. One night the Wolves and Bagheera discussed about Mougli. Bagheera said, "I will take him with me". Raksha was worried. Mougli promised that she is still his mom even when he goes with Bagheera. Mougli and Bagheera went away. 

The next day Bagheera was taking Mougli to the Man Village. Suddenly when Mougli was going, Shere Khan appeared. Bagheera tried to fight his best and then Shere Khan started following Mougli. There came a lot of Buffalos. Mougli climbed on a Buffalo. When Mougli woke up, there was a Landslide on the Mountain they were walking on. Mougli jumped from the Buffalo to the Land. It was raining very very very very very very hard and he tried to swim. 

Shere Khan came to Akela's place and he was taking rest near Akela's hill. They were talking, but suddenly Shere Khan threw Akela away from the hill, and Akela was dead, Shere Khan said to everyone, "I'm the owner of these hills until you give Mougli to me". 

In the forest where Mougli is, he climbed on a tree. He saw fruits and He picked that up with a stick. Then he saw a small animal, they had a bad plan. 

He asked, "You wanna bite? Do you have a language?". 

The animal was cheating. He actually like fruits, But suddenly 2 animals picked up his fruits. They were the same animal as the little animal Mougli saw, Mougli tried to follow. But they were gone. Mougli couldn't see them because they ran away so fast. Suddenly somebody talked from nowhere, When he saw on the tree there was a snake. 

Mougli asked "Who are you?". 

The Snake said "Kaa". 

Kaa said the story where Mougli came from, "You were in a cave in the forest with your father, But Shere Khan killed Mougli's father. But Shere Khan didn't notice Mougli, He ran away very fast. Mougli was 0 or 1 year, He came out of the cave, The Panther found you." 

Kaa's tail hugged him slowly to kill him. Kaa opened his mouth and came to Mougli. But Suddenly a bear named Baloo saved Mougli. Mougli wants to go to the man village by listening Bagheera. Baloo knows Bagheera. Baloo wants Honey and he talked to Mougli. He picked up sticks to get the honey from a straight rock. He picked up sticks to climb on the rock. There were so many bees up there, They bited him. He got angry on Baloo. 

Baloo took Mougli to a northern place from the man village. He saw the man village from the Mountain of The Jungle. He saw something. Baloo said, "That's the red flower, don't ever play with it, OK?". 

There will be no honey on winter. Mougli promised that he would help him to get the honey until winter comes. Next time when he climbed with the sticks, he has put leaves on his body so that the bees will not bite him. 

Baloo and Mougli were swimming in a river in the forest. Suddenly the leaves shook. Baloo said Mougli to stay behind him in the river. Baloo said, "COME OUT AND SHOW WHO EVER YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When he came out, It was Bagheera. Mougli and Baloo came out of the river. Mougli hugged Bagheera. Mougli showed Bagheera the sticks he made and the honey for until winter. Bagheera got angry. He doesn't want Mougli's tricks. 

The next morning, Mougli saw a group of elephants. He went nearby, he saw a baby elephant that got trapped into a hole made by hunters. Mougli picked up sticks. Baloo and Bagheera woke up. They saw Mougli taking the baby elephant out of the hole. When Bagheera and Baloo saw him taking the baby elephant out of the hole. Bagheera and Baloo thought he was very very intelligent. Suddenly Bagheera said that Mougli has to go to the Man Village. Baloo said that to Mougli, But Mougli doesn't want to go to The Man Village. 

He climbed on a tree and he sat on the tree. Suddenly a monkey appeared and said, "OO AA OO AA".

Mougli said, "Go away" three times. Suddenly the Monkey shouted very loud. The other monkeys took him somewhere. Mougli shouted very loud, "Bagheera! Baloo!". They saw him. The Monkeys climbed on trees and on a big rock taking Mougli somewhere. On the straight climbing areas, Bagheera and Baloo followed them. Baloo was very scared to climb. But Bagheera was very strong. When the monkeys climbed up the rock, there was a giant palace. One monkey pushed Mougli if he stops going inside the palace. 

Bagheera and Baloo were still climbing on the rock. They reached the top. Mougli and Monkeys came inside the giant monkey palace. He saw a pot in the Giant Monkey Palace. He picked it up and the Monkey didn't push him. Suddenly there came a giant hand out of a dark place. It was King Larry, The King of all the monkeys. He asked for the Red Flower which Baloo told about. 

Mougli said, "I don't have it." 

King Larry didn't accept him. Baloo and Bagheera reached the top. Suddenly a wild fight started. King Larry started following Mougli. Mougli hid him behind a wall. King Larry found him. When they came outside, Mougli said, "I will say it to Akela" 

King Larry said, "didn't you know? Akela is dead due to Shere Khan".

Mougli said shocked, "Really, is Akela dead?". 

After the fight was over, The Giant Monkey Palace got broken. The Monkeys threw The rocks of the broken palace down towards Baloo and Bagheera. 

The fight was over. After hearing about Akela's death, Mougli rushed to the Man Village, picked up the Red Flower and rushed towards Shere Khan. All the wolves ran towards the lake. Mougli came with the Red Flower in his hand. 

Mougli said, "I am not afraid of you Shere Khan." 

Shere Khan said, "I'm worried that you are scared of something else now." 

When he was behind him, the Forest was Burning. Mougli threw the Red Flower into the river. There was another wild fight starting. When Shere Khan saw Mougli running, he followed him too. Mougli climbed on a tree because of the burning forest due to the red flower. 

Mougli ran on the tree, Shere Khan climbed up and started to follow him on the tree. Mougli jumped on a rope. Shere Khan fell into the fire, and he was dead. 

The wolfs shouted, "woooooooooooo". Bagheera is the Black Panther so he didn't shout. 

The Elephants came and put water on the fire or the red flower. Baloo and the baby bears were giving practice to Mougli how to live in a forest.
