Kaa: The whole jungle has been watching you, man-cub.Mowgli: Why?Kaa: Even you must know you are unusual. Not quite a wolf, not quite a man, or neither, or both...
Leave the man-cub alone. He belongs with us!
One day you will speak, and the jungle will listen. What will you say then, man-cub?
With the tiger and the hunter now gone, the future shimmered from darkness into light. Mowgli, man and wolf, both and neither, had given the jungle a voice. And for as long as he stood watch, it would speak a lasting peace.
