"In the beginning, you must think of nothing but silence, a silence so vast that ears can't hear it. Great trees like the pillars of the temple with furs like green carpets underneath; While above, under the dome of heaven where live the winged ones. The wind woods restless whispering across the roof of the world. These are the eaters of grass in a world of tall flesh. Early the little fawns must learn the lesson, Feet theirs make no noise, eyes that see in the dark, ears that heard the Leopard leaving his lair. For the Leopard lays by the law of claws and horns and fang. He will kill for hunger, and eat therof. But he'll never kill for killing sake, a law that all men break but jungle folks obey. These are the lords of the jungle, tribe of Hathi, the Silent ones. They go their way, eaters of grass in a world of carnage. But the wolves are the true hunters of the jungle and likes hunt while stick to their clan with a strict regard for hunting calls and tribal law. Free companion of the woods, they may fight and quarrel among their selfs and the strongest wolf must take the leadership. Yet jungle folks says that the wisest among them is the tribe of Baloo the bear He is a teacher of the jungle law. Yet there is one who knows no law. The barrel bodied mugger, the Crocodile. With his chin in his shallows and lust in his cold heart, hopping to drag dawn to the deeps all who wonder in his river banks. And in the legends of the jungle, there is a black prince; shrewdest of the lords of claw, horn and fang. As bold as a buffalo and as reckless as a wounded elephant. But the voice is soft as wild honey dripping from the tree and prier and master and afraid. Bagheera, the black panther. And now behold the villain of my tale; the killer, the man killer, the assassin who brought murder to the jungle clans. Shere Khan, the Tiger. It is said that when the first kill when he was Cain of some poor Abel of the glades; when he run from the scene of his first crime, the trees and creepers whip him with their branches and striped his yellow hide with the Mark of Cain. This evil lord they must have his dishlickers, his bullies for attendance. Tabaqui, the jackal, and the hyena; hungry for the scraps of the murderous master's feast. But my tale is not alone about outcast and heroes. I will tell you also of the rock snake Kaa; the wise one, the Oracle who taught Mother Eve the speech men use for trickery and sin. What is the book of life itself, but man's war with nature; the struggle between village and jungle. Under the mantle of wild creepers and great trees, many ruin cities lays forgotten in the pages of time where a thousand war chariots proclaim the might emigrated king before whom all men bow their heads nothing remains but a trellis for wild figs to sun upon. But what of the great Maharaja, the loser in this battles? He has left many such palaces to his cousins, the monkey folk. The Bander-logs, the outcast of the jungle. First, you must picture who I was, Milords. Buldeo, the mighty hunter. Was a long time ago and very far away, on a summer evening in the Seeonee hills"
