MOWGLI GIGGLES

Huh?

WHISTLING

Who's up there?

Come down and face me!

Ahhh!

You frightened me.

I frightened you?

I'm sorry about that. Are you lost?

The Cold Lair is that way.

Never! Not the Cold Lair.

Cold Lair has ghosts!

Isn't that where you Bandar-log live?

I'm not one of those awful Bandar-log!

I'm a Himalayan monkey.

We're far more intelligent!

Even though you believe in ghosts? My teacher Baloo

says there's no such thing as ghosts.

I've seen them! They walk on two legs,

they are very fierce and they carry thunder sticks!

That sounds like humans. Come on, we'd better tell Baloo.

Come on, it's not far.

I'm Mowgli.

I'm Langa.

How long has it been?

Three days and nightsss.

It is a serious problem.

Baloo! Bagheera!

Shh, Mowgli! Kaa's here.

I only wish I could help, but I simply must go hunting.

-I haven't had a good meal in months.

-But you have to help, Kaa,

you're the only one who can.

Of course, I could eat a good meal right now.

No, stick to your plan, I always say.

Why do we need help, Baloo?

The black cobra, Thuu, is sick and has gone to ground.

-No-one knows where.

-A sick snake?

Something he ate.

Well, good luck.

Thuu guards the treasure of Cold Lair.

And has done so as long as anyone can remember.

With Thuu gone nothing can stop the humans from finding the treasure.

They may be closing in on it right now.

Oh no!

What is it?

This is Langa.

She saw something... Someone near the Cold Lair.

Then it has begun. Let's hope we are not too late.

-Where are you going?

-To the Cold Lair of course.

To guard the treasure.

Oh, I see. Bye-bye!

Ahhhh!

I don't like it. It's too quiet.

Maybe the humans have driven the Bandar-log away.

-Stay close, they could be nearby.

-Why don't you just let the humans

take the treasure and leave?

No, Langa.

If they found it then more men would come,

cutting down the trees and killing all the animals.

-We're here.

-This door hasn't been opened

in a hundred years.

Uh! Help me.

-Uh!

-Argh!

Heeeee!

Eeeee!

THEY ALL GASP

Ooooh!

How did it get here?

No-one knows who left it,

but as long as it survives, the jungle is safe.

How can we guard all this? We don't have any weapons.

We must do whatever we can to drive the humans away.

You could make a hissing sound, Baloo. Like a big snake.

Hmm, it's worth a try.

Ssssssssss!

That's not bad.

GUNSHOTS OUTSIDE

Ohh-ohhh!

'That snake could be anywhere.

-'Don't waste your bullets.'

-'I think we're getting close.'

'We'll make some torches and come back later.'

We'll need reinforcements, Bagheera.

But who?

There is someone scary enough to do the job.

SHERE KHAN YAWNS

What's in it for me if I help you drive the humans away?

Well, you of all people should know the dangers they pose, Shere Khan.

Hunting the animals you eat for their fur.

Talking of eating...

Will the man cub be there?

No, Khan, you know Baloo would never allow that.

Mowgli will be somewhere safe.

I'll join you later.

Did you hear all that, Tabaqui?

Hmm, every word.

Oh, it's not fair, Bagheera.

Why can't I help.

-Mowgli, it's too dangerous.

-But you're letting Langa stay.

Langa has no quarrel with Shere Khan.

Please, Mowgli, I don't have time to argue.

Do as Baloo says and stay hidden.

My plan is to split up into teams -

make the humans think they're surrounded.

Then, at the signal, we all make as much noise as we can. Any questions?

Can I go home? Eeeee!

Don't worry, you'll be safe with Bagheera.

I'll go with Khan.

Oh, I'm so glad. I feel much safer with you there to protect me, Baloo.

Anyone at home? Mowgli?

It's me, Tabaqui.

Not very friendly, hiding yourself like that.

I'm not your friend, Tabaqui.

Oh, now, don't be like that.

All I wanted was some company.

I'm all alone, just like you.

Everyone has gone to the Cold Lair.

Then, why don't you join them?

They won't let me. For the same reason they won't let you.

I'm not brave enough.

What?!

That's what they say.

Of course, it isn't true.

Not in my case, anyway.

Or in my case.

Where are you off to now?

To the Cold Lair.

I'm not afraid of humans OR tigers!

Oh!

THE HUMANS CHATTER

They're making torches. We should sound the alarm.

You mean, like this?

HE ROARS

Ahhhh!

The signal! Make some noise.

-Hoo-hoo-ha-ha-hee-hee!

-That's better!

BAGHEERA ROARS

-HE ROARS

-That's Bagheera!

What's happening?

I've no wish to find out, man cub.

Good luck.

Then you are a coward.

Better to be a live coward than a dead hero, I always say.

Ah!

You tricked me.

Khan, I might have known you'd betray us.

Who have I betrayed?

I said I'd get rid of some humans and I'm about to do just that!

Ah!

Hurry!

Baloo?

Are you there?

Ohhhh.

What are you doing down there?

Where's Shere Khan?

The hunters are headed for the treasure!

Yes... Ahhhh!

It's a shame there are no ghosts after all.

What do you mean?

They could scare the humans away.

Langa, this is no time for jokes.

Wait a minute...

Ghosts - that's it!

Oooh!

(What are we doing here?)

(Humans make me nervous!)

(I'm human, remember?)

(Are you sure?)

Here they come.

Let's try roaring. On the count of three.

One, two, three!

'OOOOOOOOOOH!'

Leave this place.

THE MEN SHOUT AND SCREAM

And never return!

Go, shoo, be gone!

Mowgli!

THEY ALL LAUGH

They won't be back, thanks to Mowgli.

And Langa. We make a good team, don't we?

Don't think I've forgotten that you disobeyed me, Mowgli.

Never trust Tabaqui again.

Almost as bad as trusting Shere Khan, eh, Baloo?

What shall we do now? Um, tell ghost stories?

Go ahead! I don't frighten easily.

Whoa!

Oh!

I can tell you something frightening.

Eating a mouldy crocodile. Well,

if you'll excuse me, I have a treasure to guard.

Has he gone?

What's the matter, Baloo?

You look like you've seen a ghost!
