    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.

    The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kipling

    The Man-Cub

    It was morning. Mother Wolf was slowly waking up. Her cubs were already awake. Soon Father Wolf woke up.

    "It is time to hunt again," he said.

    As he walked toward the mouth of the cave where he lived with his family, Tabaqui, the jackal appeared. Wolves do not like jackals because they are dirty animals and will eat anything. They also tell lies and make trouble for the other animals.

    Good morning, Chief of the Wolves. Perhaps you have something for me to eat, Tabaqui said.

    There is nothing here for you, Father Wolf said.

    Looking at the cubs, Tabaqui said, Your children are so beautiful.

    This was not a good thing to say. In India, animals and people believe it is unlucky to tell children they are beautiful in front of them.

    "Shere Khan, the tiger, has moved this way. He will hunt in these hills now," Tabaqui said.

    He has no right to do that, Father Wolf said angrily. The law of the jungle says so. He will frighten all the animals away, and there will be none left for me to hunt. Then Man will hunt him. Man will set fire to the grass. We shall all have to run for our lives."

    Tabaqui went away. Soon after, there was the noise made by a tiger that has caught nothing and does not care who knows it.

    Shere Khan is not clever, Father Wolf said. "He has a bad
