`` I am ashamed of thy brethren , '' he said , purring . `` What ? Did they not sing sweetly to Buldeo ? '' said Mowgli . `` Too well ! Too well ! They made even ME forget my pride , and , by the Broken Lock that freed me , I went singing through the Jungle as though I were out wooing in the spring ! Didst thou not hear us ? '' `` I had other game afoot . Ask Buldeo if he liked the song . But where are the Four ? I do not wish one of the Man-Pack to leave the gates to-night . '' `` What need of the Four , then ? '' said Bagheera , shifting from foot to foot , his eyes ablaze , and purring louder than ever . `` I can hold them , Little Brother . Is it killing at last ? The singing and the sight of the men climbing up the trees have made me very ready . Who is Man that we should care for him -- the naked brown digger , the hairless and toothless , the eater of earth ? I have followed him all day -- at noon -- in the white sunlight . I herded him as the wolves herd buck .
I am XXXXX !
