Kind Mother-Wolf
The given extract has been taken from Rudyard Kipling's most popular book, 'The Jungle
Book. It tells how the man-cub is adopted by the wolf family and is loved by the mother-
wolf, against much to the anger of Shere Khan.

It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills, when Father-Wolf woke
up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other
to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their trips. Mother-Wolf lay with her big grey nose dropped
across her four tumbling squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave
where they all lived.
"Augrh !" said Father-Wolf. "It is time to hunt again." He was going to spring downhill when
a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined :
"Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves. And good luck and strong white teeth go
with noble children that they may never forget the hungry in this world."
It was the jackal, Tabaqui. The wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about
making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village
rubbish-heaps. But they are afraid of him too, because Tabaqui, more than anyone else in the
jungle, is apt to go mad, and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of anyone and runs
through the forest biting everything in his way.
"Enter then, and look," said Father-Wolf stiffly, “but there is no food here."
"For a wolf, no," said Tabaqui, “but for so mean a person as myself, a dry bone is a good
feast." He scuttled to the back of the cave, where he found the bone of a buck with some meat
on it, and sat cracking the end merrily.
"All thanks for this good meal," he said, licking his lips. "How beautiful are the noble
children 1 How large are their eyes ! And so young too !"
Now, Tabaqui knew as well as anyone else that there is nothing so unlucky as to compliment
children to their faces. It pleased him to see Mother and Father-Wolf look uncomfortable.
Tabaqui sat still, rejoicing in the mischief that he had made, and then he said spitefully,
"Shere Khan, the Big One, has shifted his hunting grounds. He will hunt among these hills for
the next moon, so he has told me."
Shere Khan was the tiger who lived near the Waingunga River, twenty miles away.
