The Tooth of the Matter Jungle Book

.

# In the darkness of the forest Shere Khan's on the prowl

# Mowgli stops to listen as he hears the mighty growl

# In the Jungle Book It's in the Jungle Book

# Jungle Book It's in the Jungle Book

# Bagheera and Baloo are at the man cub's side

# In the Jungle Book It's in the Jungle Book

# The Jungle Book It's in the Jungle Book. #

-Ha-ha-ha.

-Stop it, Appu, get off me, leave me alone.

-Ha-ha-ha!

-You're hurting me.

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Ha-ha-ha.

-That's enough, Appu!

Oh, I was only playing.

Well, go and play somewhere else

or the black elephant will come to get you.

And I was just playing but Mother said that if I didn't stop,

-the black elephant would come to get me.

-The black elephant!

What's the black elephant?

Well, he's big and fierce with tusks the length of a banyan tree.

-And he breathes fire out of his trunk.

-Ho-ho-ho!

-Well, let's hope he isn't at the river.

-Why's that?

-He'd spoil our swim.

-Oh, we're going for a swim!

-Race you there!

Ha-ha-ha!

Enjoy yourselves! Ha-ha, black elephant indeed.

Black elephant! Where?!

No, it's just... Oh, never mind, Bagheera.

-Run!

-We're turtles, Boo, turtles don't...

-Rargh!

-..run!

Ah! Ah! Ee-ah, help!

-Wait for me!

-Too late! Woah!

Oh! It's the black elephant!

-He's come to get me, help!

-Appu, it's all right. It's only a... Ahh!

Rargh!

That was close, Mowgli, I thought... Mowgli?

Mowgli!

Huh! Almost nothing on this bone.

-Ah!

-Oh! Sorry, Tabaqui. I didn't see you there.

Watch where you're going in future. Where are you going?

I'm getting away from the black elephant.

I was swimming with Mowgli, he jumped out at us and I ran away.

-I thought Mowgli was with me...

-But he's still down by the river? Alone?

I think so, unless the black elephant got him.

What is this black elephant?

He comes to get bad elephant children, and anyone else

he can get his trunk on, and squish them, and chomp them, and...

Now, now. Mowgli is a very resourceful little fellow,

but just to be certain, I'll go and make sure he's all right.

-Oh, would you?

-Mmm.

With a bit of luck, I'll soon have a much bigger bone. Man cub sized.

Phew, that was close!

WHIMPERING

Hello. Don't be frightened, I'm not going to hurt you.

-We're not frightened of you, it's Jacala.

-Jacala?

Rargh!

Rarghh!

-Wah!

-Grrrr...

Wow! Dad, it's...

Wah!

Wahhh! Phew!

-What's the matter with Jacala?

-He... He's got toothache.

It's driving him mad!

-I can see that.

-Can you help him?

-He'll bite my head off.

-Please help him, man cub.

Well, all right. But how?

And what has this black elephant got to do with Mowgli?

Nothing, I told you, it's probably some childish nonsense.

But whatever it was,

it means that Appu has left the man cub all alone by the river.

If this turns out to be yet another of your fiascos, Tabaqui...

It won't, I'm sure of it.

This time, you'll get your man...cub.

-Hee-hee-hee.

-Rrrrr.

And you'll reward me with a piece of him?

-What are you doing?

-You'll see.

-Baloo!

-Huh?

-It's Mowgli, he's in trouble.

-What sort of trouble?

-We were by the river

and the black elephant jumped out!

-I got away but Mowgli...

-Now, Appu,

I don't think there's really any such thing as the black elephant.

There is! I saw it! And... Tabaqui believed me!

-Tabaqui?!

-Yes, he said he'd go and help Mowgli while I fetched you.

Quick, Baghee... Ooh! Ah!

Oh!

Rarghhh.

Roarrr.

Rargh!

Now for the tricky bit.

Rargh!

-Er, don't eat me.

-Eat you?! I couldn't eat anything!

My tooth hurts so badly.

-Open wide.

-Rargh.

There it is.

Now, please, Jacala, keep that mouth of yours wide open.

-Ready?

-Argh-ahh!

Rrraaaahhh!! What kind of joke is this?!

Rargh!

Huh? Rah! The pain, it's gone.

Man cub, for once I am in your debt. Thank you.

-Hoo!

-Yeah!

-He-ho!

-Woo!

Rrrr... For once, Tabaqui, you have done well.

I told you, didn't I? Dinner on the hoof.

Rarrgghh!

I have waited long for this moment, man cub.

I shall miss our little encounters.

You have proved an elusive target.

Rargh! This time...

Rrrragh!

Rarggh!

Arrgh!

Grraarrghh!

-Ah!

-Grrr...

Rraarrrgghh!

Oh! It wasn't my fault, I didn't know. I mean, I...

Oh, help!

Hellllpppp!

Oh, help!

Maybe he saw the black elephant.

Whatever it was, I hope it hasn't done for Mowgli.

Thanks, Jacala, if it hadn't been for you...

No, Jacala!

Oh, hello there, Baloo.

-Huh!

-For today, thank you, man cub.

But come tomorrow, approach me at your peril.

Mowgli, am I dreaming?

No, Baloo. It's a long story.

And has the black elephant got anything to do with it?

Ha-ha-ha! No, nothing at all. Come on, let's get you home.

Black elephant, ha-ha!
