Scene 14 - Bagheera In The Brush Flashcards
Hurry hurry we may still catch them
This is no time for chasing. They may push Mowgli out of the trees if we follow too closely
He may be falling at this very moment, bouncing off the branches, about to crash to the ground
Calm down
Why oh why didn’t I keep a closer eye on him
We have to make a plan
What was I thinking? Oh my goodness
Calm down. You’re not helping Mowgli crying and making a fool of yourself
Now the monkeys have him and they’re not afraid of us
Wait
We can’t climb up there
I know someone they are afraid of. Someone who could help us
Who?
Kaa, the rock snake
How can she possibly help?
The whisper of her name makes their wicked tails go cold
I know how they feel
She fixes them with her eyes
Her wonky eyes
They go into a trance. They’re stuck. They can’t move an inch and they are at her mercy.
Do you know where to find her?
Yes but we had better hurry if we want to see Mowgli again. Those monkeys may be foolish but they can move fast through the trees.
