Stars up

[Music]

there we are good I knew I stashed some

honey away last summer or the summer

before but I couldn't remember where I

put it I wonder where I hid the

rest it'll come back to

me

if I don't find it soon I'll be in

trouble food is getting short it's been

so long since it

[Music]

rained

[Music]

rats go

[Music]

that's it that's all there is boy am I

ever

[Music]

hungry

huh that's

weird

that's the first time I've seen deer eat

tree bark I guess I'd better chase them

away before they damage that

tree

[Music]

[Music]

SC

[Music]

hi call I'm so hot I can't think and on

top of that I'm

starving yes so am I gee I sure wish it

would rain it will sooner or later it

better be sooner or I'll be in real

trouble I don't think I can take much

more of this yes with no fur and no

scales it must be hard hard for you but

don't worry manom as soon as the Moa

trees blossom the rains will come what

are the Moa trees trees with flowers on

them ask beloo he's very fond of them

okay I will do it later though all right

I want to show you

something I've been keeping an eye on

the marsh for the past couple of weeks

and I've noticed something really quite

peculiar

oh do you mean all those tracks mhm

everybody came here to drink before the

water dried up see that big paw print

must be Baloo and there's one of yours

so beiras can't be far away can you tell

who made the other ones

smokly

[Music]

sure yep ACU and sah I'm sure of it the

small ones are

kichi these might be

laas deer and some rabbits

and what's this sheer K's mark what was

he doing prowling around in the marsh I

bet he was hunting for me that's it that

wasn't what I meant moley take another

look I don't know what you mean look

carefully can you see any traces of

monkeys or Birds no I can't except for

those really big ones over there they

must be chill the kites listen mowley

except for chill all the birds and all

the monkeys have fled from this jungle

you may be right I haven't seen any for

a while they watched the signs and they

fled for their lives far away to the

north they knew what was coming they

knew what a drought can do but God does

that mean it's not going to rain again

ever who

knows

lucky chill only scavengers get fat in a

drought like this there's no shortage of

food for you is there my friend K mowgly

this is serious our beloved jungle is

becoming a desert what the humans crops

have withered on the vine they're burnt

and parched humans have nothing to eat

that's dangerous it means that soon

they'll be hunting

us

[Music]

[Music]

he

[Music]

[Laughter]

huh I thought wolves were Mighty Hunters

Noble and

dignified and yet you're scrapping like

Cubs over a mouse

no

wait I have something more satisfying

fresh bulock you may have some if you

like bollock that's right all you have

to do is abandon that old fool Aila and

follow me instead I promise you'll have

all the food you want bulock and other

treats and where would it come from the

only place to find such food is a

village we all know

that you're planning to attack a village

that's against the law of the Jungle and

you know it ha the law of the Jungle

you'd rather starve than break a foolish

law we can attack the village together

the three of us lots of easy prey for

the taking no if you're fool enough to

go there you'll go

alone idiots I'll soon show them I'll

Attack the village all by myself that's

what I'll

do

does that mean that humans are going to

come into the jungle and Hunt us down if

it doesn't rain soon it's possible they

won't be able to grow food for

themselves unless it rains bagira says

they'll eat anything if they have to

even snakes and if they come

here it could be bad they might trap all

the animals tear up the vines cut down

the trees turn the jungle into a

wasteland

that's enough you ought to be ashamed of

yourself you're going to frighten him

out of his wits even if they do come

into the jungle the humans couldn't be

that stupid but isn't there some way we

can make it

rain Make It Rain no we can't do that

all we can do is try to survive there

are some rules you should learn mowgly

so listen carefully and I'll tell you

all about them and when bagira says all

he means

all

I'll start at the beginning with rule

number one in times of trouble move

quietly and Hunt slowly you must never

waste your energy energy is

life and that brings me to rule number

two you must never on any account lose

your temper you'll regret it if you do

because it will always get you into

trouble empty bellies make for short

tempers right believe me it never fails

M I know what you mean these days it

seems like we're always fighting about

the least little thing

huh I wondered where you were and now I

know I brought a piece of honey for you

m it's hard as a rock is it real honey

oh yes I hid it in a tree trunk three or

4 years ago or it may have been longer

than that now I don't suppose it matters

[Music]

really

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

at last listen that's hathy huh yep that

must mean he's finally decided to

proclaim the water truce the water truce

I can't remember the last time that was

proclaimed the jungle must be in worse

shape than I thought what are you

talking about what's a water

juuce well sir there's no time to

explain mowgly if you want to know come

with us to the

[Music]

river

[Music]

have a real feast

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

haa

[Applause]

wow elephants they're

enormous

[Music]

well met free creatures of the Jungle I

am hay Warden of the water truce the

river Wayne ganga has dwindled and the

Blue Rock has

appeared

the Blue Rock is called the peace Rock

and we have not seen it in 50 years when

it appears the warden must proclaim the

water truce I so Proclaim as did my

father

before we are all one in this all are

wretched and weary and food is short

but we all must drink if any are to

survive therefore until the waters

return and cover the rock it is utterly

forbidden to hunt at the drinking place

but I don't understand why can't we hunt

here at the river silence

manab the water truce is in effect let

no one dare to break it it must be

obeyed I understand so will

[Music]

I truce the water

truce hay has proclaimed the water

truce take

heed

truce the water

truce

be warned Cathy has proclaimed the water

truce H who does he think he is I'll

hunt what I like when I like where I

[Music]

like truce the water

truce

[Music]

[Music]

let me explain mle this is the only

place in the whole jungle where there is

any water left isn't that right so so

think about it what's the logical Next

Step

[Music]

we all have to drink and we all have to

drink here that's right we wouldn't have

to hunt for game anymore if we wanted a

pig or a rabbit or even something bigger

all we need to do is wait they'd all

have to come here and then we'd catch

them and pretty soon there'd be none

left that's right M we could catch them

all every one of them and then what

would we do for food soon there'd be

nobody left in the jungle not even us

that's why there's a water juuice hey

beira I think that's a really good

idea Sher con so you think it's a good

idea it's a jungle law manb who are you

to say whether it's good or bad the manb

obeys the laws of the jungle much better

than some I could name the great Sher

Khan would pray on humans and that is

breaking the law don't you remember the

first law of all when you're hungry you

eat I was hungry an hour ago but then I

had a feast now there's one less human I

need a drink of

[Music]

water wait Shear

con

you broke the law you have no right to

defile the river what you dare threaten

me manob this time you've gone too far

the truce

[Music]

mly

[Music]

a child is

learning in nature special way he's

beginning to see all the Beauty in this

world

today his eyes are

gleaming at every Sight and Sound with

his inocent

heart he feels that love is all around

but this world can be

confusing and learning can be

hard when lessons that you often learn

mean Danger looks beneath the stars so

take good care of Nature's friends and

they'll take good care of you then we

can all live together as

one as in The Jungle
