There is always evil at Cold Lairs -- above ground or below . But now I am hungry . Dost thou hunt with me this dawn ? '' said Kaa . `` No ; Bagheera must see this thing . Good hunting ! '' Mowgli danced off , flourishing the great ankus , and stopping from time to time to admire it , till he came to that part of the Jungle Bagheera chiefly used , and found him drinking after a heavy kill . Mowgli told him all his adventures from beginning to end , and Bagheera sniffed at the ankus between whiles . When Mowgli came to the White Cobra 's last words , the Panther purred approvingly . `` Then the White Hood spoke the thing which is ? '' Mowgli asked quickly . `` I was born in the King 's cages at Oodeypore , and it is in my stomach that I know some little of Man . Very many men would kill thrice in a night for the sake of that one big red stone alone . '' `` But the stone makes it heavy to the hand . My little bright knife is better ; and -- see ! the red stone is not good to eat . Then WHY would they kill ? '' `` Mowgli , go thou and sleep . Thou hast lived among men , and -- '' `` I remember . Men kill because they are not hunting ; -- for idleness and pleasure .
