He denounces the Free People for their betrayal of him and Akela, excluding Mother and Father Wolf and his brother cubs, and forces Shere Khan to leave by singeing his fur. Then Mowgli produces the Red Flower from the pot. Since Akela can no longer protect Mowgli, Shere Khan demands Mowgli be returned to him. The Wolf Pack meets at Council Rock to officially remove Akela from his position and kill him. Meanwhile, Akela misses his kill, which means that he will be removed as the leader of the Free People. Mowgli finds and carries it back in a pot and feeds it with twigs and grass. When he is a little older, Bagheera sends him to bring back the Red Flower (fire) from a man village. As Mowgli grows, he learns the Law of the Jungle. Baloo, a brown bear, and Bagheera, a black panther, speak for him, so he is accepted into the Free People (wolf pack). Because Mowgli is a man cub and not a wolf, Akela, the leader, asks for two animals, other than his wolf parents, to speak for him. To be accepted means that the pack will protect them until they kill their first buck.

One by one, the cubs are presented and accepted by the pack. When their other cubs are able to run, Mother and Father Wolf take the man cub, called Mowgli, and their other cubs to Council Rock. Mother and Father Wolf refuse to give the man cub to the tiger. When Shere Khan, the limping tiger, tries to take the man cub, he becomes stuck in the den’s entrance. Mowgli’s Brothers - Father Wolf is surprised to see a man cub enter his den. The Jungle Book is a collection of stories and poems, and is not a single tale.
