Bagheera in the Man Village 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. #

It's about time those naughty little elephants were sorted out.

Running around the jungle, totally out of... Ouch!

What's that? It wasn't there yesterday.

Urgh! Smelly dead plants.

I'd better tell everybody about this.

Baloo, Bagheera, there are some green trees in the friendly area

that weren't there yesterday.

What's so strange about green trees? They're everywhere.

You don't know what I'm talking about, Bagheera.

Would you like to take us to these green trees, Ikki?

I'd be most interested to see them.

Of course, Baloo. Follow me.

HE YAWNS

Oh, my goodness!

See, Bagheera? Green trees. Didn't I tell you?

You're right, Ikki. They're very odd.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

It's mould.

Oh, they smell bad. What's mould, Baloo?

-It's an infestation that grows on trees, Mowgli.

-Is it bad?

If it spreads as quickly as this seems to be doing, it's very bad.

If all the trees in the jungle become sick and die,

it could be the end of our world.

We must hold a council meeting right away.

We need to do something about this green stuff growing in the jungle.

Jacala! What do you want here?

Help. Before mould infests my swamp.

THEY GASP

Don't worry. I can forget my appetite in times of crisis.

This green stuff is ringing bells in the back of my mind.

It's infected the tree where I nest.

It's drying up my skin and making me itchier than ever.

Baloo, there must be something we can do.

I don't want to leave the jungle!

And I don't want to leave my friends!

There's got to be an antidote.

Something we can treat the trees with which will kill the mould.

I don't know of an antidote, or if in fact there even is one at all.

I remember seeing green mould way back in the past.

I just can't put my trunk on exactly when.

You know what they say - an elephant never forgets.

Looks like this one has.

I remember! You saw it too.

Green mould on the trees in the man jungle

where we worked when we were young.

Yes. Oh, it was so long ago.

What did the men do to the trees? Did they chop them down?

-They didn't chop the trees down.

-But they did do something to them.

Please try to remember.

They smeared the trees with an oil.

An oil? What oil?

It was a rich, thick oil.

Did it work? Did it stop the mould from spreading?

To be honest, I don't really remember.

We have to find this oil. It may be our only chance.

Do you remember the name of it?

ALL: Huh?

-Was it cocoa oil?

-Coconut oil?

-Fish oil?

It had the name of the tree it came from.

-Palm oil?

-Cedar oil?

Yes, that's the one!

Cedar oil. I know that. When I was young and living in the palace,

they used it against mosquitoes.

It had an unusual smell. It was strong and fragrant.

One problem. Cedar trees don't grow in our jungle.

If men use cedar oil, as you say,

it could be stored somewhere in the man village.

Could you find this oil, Bagheera?

Yes. If it's in the man village, I'll certainly remember the smell.

I have a plan. Bagheera and I will go to the man village and you two...

Once we get the oil, we'll float it down river, where Chil can watch it.

When you hear Chil's alarm call,

you'll know the oil is heading your way, Baloo.

I'll be waiting, Mowgli.

Come on.

HE SNIFFS

-Oil?

-No. Wine.

-Urgh!

-What is it, Bagheera?

-I don't know.

This is it, Mowgli... And this one.

And this one too.

We can only take two, Bagheera.

-You next, Bagheera... Huh? Bagheera?

-'Help! Help!'

SHOUTING Help me! Hurry up!

There's got to be another way of getting inside the warehouse.

CHIL SQUAWKS

The oil must be on its way.

We don't know how Mowgli's going to get it down river. Check everything

-that floats by.

-No point in hiding. I'll find you.

-What was that?

-Over there.

-Bagheera!

GUNSHOTS

Where's the oil? SQUAWKING

Ssh! It's Chil.

You'd better go and see what's going on up river, Jakala.

SQUAWKING

-Well done, Jakala! We did it, Bagheera!

-Thanks to you, my friend.

Ha-ha-ha! Let's get to work.

Don't hold back. Cover every bit.

-I think it's fair to say our jungle is safe once more.

-Yes!

-We don't have to leave.

-Thanks to you, Mowgli.

No, thanks to Bagheera, Akela, Hathi, Chil,

Ikki, Darzee, you, Raksha, Baloo...

ROARING

-All this has made me hungry.

-THEY GASP

Don't worry. I'm going back to my swamp.

Thanks for your help, Jakala!

We couldn't have managed it without you!
