Human After All

Tabaqui interrupts Mowgli and Rikki Tikki Tavi whilst they are playing. Tabaqui attacks Mowgli and Rikki Tikki dives in to save him. Word goes around the jungle that Mowgli was so scared he has to be saved by Rikki Tikki. To Mowgli’s annoyance the animals mock him and his lack of bravery. Mowgli’s human side comes to the fore when he gets very petulant and threatens to return to the man village. It is only when Bagheera is in danger that Mowgli realises how silly he’s been. He diverts the villagers away from Bagheera and is finally praised for his bravery.
