"At other times Mowgli would pick long thorns out of the pads of his friends, for wolves suffer terribly from thorns and burrs in their coats."
"Balloo taught him how to tell a rotten branch from a sound one, how to speak politely to wild bees."
"The monkeys dragged Mowgli into their cold lair and instead of going to sleep they joined hands and danced about and sang their foolish songs."
"Kaa was not a poisonous snake, in fact he rather despised poison snakes as cowards, but his strength lay in his hug."
"Mowgli laid his head down on Baheera's back and slept so deeply, that he never woke up when he was put down in the home cave."
"Mowgli kicked the fire with hi foot and the sparks flew up. He strode forward to where Shere Khan sat blinking at the flames and caught him by the tuft of his chin."
"Then Mowgli picked a shady place and lay down and slept while the buffaloes grazed around them"
