When the cubs could run, Father Wolf took them to the Council Rock. All the wolves of the pack came there when the moon was full. Akela, the great grey Lone Wolf, lay on his rock and looked at the cubs. Look well, O Wolves, he said. Then Shere Khan roared from the rocks. The man-cub is mine! Give him to me! Some young wolves wanted to give Mowgli to the tiger. Then Baloo, the old brown bear, stood up. He taught the wolf cubs the Law of the Jungle. I will speak for the man-cub, he said. Let him run with the pack. Then Bagheera, the black panther, came into the circle. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody wanted to fight the panther. I will give you a fat bull for the man-cub, said Bagheera. The wolves wanted the bull, and so Mowgli stayed with the pack.
