The boy slipped in , Jungle-fashion , without a sound , and dived across ; rose , too , without a sound , and turned on his back , his arms behind his head , watching the moon rising above the rocks , and breaking up her reflection in the water with his toes . Kaa 's diamond-shaped head cut the pool like a razor , and came out to rest on Mowgli 's shoulder . They lay still , soaking luxuriously in the cool water . `` It is VERY good , '' said Mowgli at last , sleepily . `` Now , in the Man-Pack , at this hour , as I remember , they laid them down upon hard pieces of wood in the inside of a mud-trap , and , having carefully shut out all the clean winds , drew foul cloth over their heavy heads and made evil songs through their noses . It is better in the Jungle . '' A hurrying cobra slipped down over a rock and drank , gave them `` Good hunting ! '' and went away . `` Sssh ! '' said Kaa , as though he had suddenly remembered something . `` So the Jungle gives thee all that thou hast ever desired , Little Brother ? '' `` Not all , '' said Mowgli , laughing ; `` else there would be a new and strong Shere Khan to kill once a moon . Now , I could kill with my own hands , asking no help of buffaloes . And also I have wished the sun to shine in the middle of the Rains , and the Rains to cover the sun in the deep of summer ; and also I have never gone empty but I wished that I had killed a goat ; and also I have never killed a goat but I wished it had been buck ; nor buck but I wished it had been nilghai . But thus do we feel , all of us . '' `` Thou hast no other desire ? '' the big snake demanded . `` What more can I wish ? I have the Jungle , and the favour of the Jungle ! Is there more anywhere between sunrise and sunset ? ''
`` Now , the Cobra said -- '' XXXXX began .
