Book summary

A man-cub, lost in the Indian jungle, is adopted by a family of wolves who call him Mowgli. Baloo, the old bear, teaches him the Law of the Jungle, and Bagheera, the black panther, watches over him. But the tiger Shere Khan claims the child, and he is biding his time.

The book also includes other famous stories, such as that of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the little mongoose who fights two cobras to protect a family. Kipling gives each animal its own character, voice and wisdom.

Full of action, these stories can be read one by one in the language you are learning.

The plot

A jungle where animals have their laws. The book takes place mostly in India. In the forest, the animals talk to one another. Their Law forbids, for example, eating humans.
