`` This is all thine . We owe our lives to thee . But art thou him I called Nathoo , or a Godling , indeed ? '' `` I am Nathoo , '' said Mowgli , `` I am very far from my own place . I saw this light , and came hither . I did not know thou wast here . '' `` After we came to Khanhiwara , '' Messua said timidly , `` the English would have helped us against those villagers that sought to burn us . Rememberest thou ? '' `` Indeed , I have not forgotten . '' `` But when the English Law was made ready , we went to the village of those evil people , and it was no more to be found . '' `` That also I remember , '' said Mowgli , with a quiver of his nostril . `` My man , therefore , took service in the fields , and at last -- for , indeed , he was a strong man -- we held a little land here . It is not so rich as the old village , but we do not need much -- we two . '' `` Where is he the man that dug in the dirt when he was afraid on that night ? '' `` He is dead -- a year . '' `` And he ? '' Mowgli pointed to the child . `` My son that was born two Rains ago . If thou art a Godling , give him the Favour of the Jungle , that he may be safe among thy -- thy people , as we were safe on that night . '' She lifted up the child , who , forgetting his fright , reached out to play with the knife that hung on Mowgli 's chest , and Mowgli put the little fingers aside very carefully .
`` And if thou art XXXXX whom the tiger carried away , '' Messua went on , choking , `` he is then thy younger brother .
