I sleep . '' Mowgli ran off into the Jungle , and dropped like a dead man across a rock , and slept and slept the day round , and the night back again . When he waked , Bagheera was at his side , and there was a newly-killed buck at his feet . Bagheera watched curiously while Mowgli went to work with his skinning-knife , ate and drank , and turned over with his chin in his hands . `` The man and the woman are come safe within eye-shot of Khanhiwara , '' Bagheera said . `` Thy lair mother sent the word back by Chil , the Kite . They found a horse before midnight of the night they were freed , and went very quickly . Is not that well ? '' `` That is well , '' said Mowgli . `` And thy Man-Pack in the village did not stir till the sun was high this morning . Then they ate their food and ran back quickly to their houses . '' `` Did they , by chance , see thee ? '' `` It may have been . I was rolling in the dust before the gate at dawn , and I may have made also some small song to myself . Now , Little Brother , there is nothing more to do . Come hunting with me and Baloo . He has new hives that he wishes to show , and we all desire thee back again as of old . Take off that look which makes even me afraid ! The man and woman will not be put into the Red Flower , and all goes well in the Jungle . Is it not true ?
Let us forget the XXXXX . ''
