`` And only when there is one great Fear over all , as there is now , can we of the Jungle lay aside our little fears , and meet together in one place as we do now . '' `` For one night only does Man fear the Tiger ? '' said Mowgli . `` For one night only , '' said Hathi . `` But I -- but we -- but all the Jungle knows that Shere Khan kills Man twice and thrice in a moon . '' `` Even so . THEN he springs from behind and turns his head aside as he strikes , for he is full of fear . If Man looked at him he would run . But on his one Night he goes openly down to the village . He walks between the houses and thrusts his head into the doorway , and the men fall on their faces , and there he does his kill . One kill in that Night . '' `` Oh ! '' said Mowgli to himself , rolling over in the water . `` NOW I see why it was Shere Khan bade me look at him ! He got no good of it , for he could not hold his eyes steady , and -- and I certainly did not fall down at his feet . But then I am not a man , being of the Free People . '' `` Umm ! '' said Bagheera deep in his furry throat . `` Does the Tiger know his Night ? '' `` Never till the Jackal of the Moon stands clear of the evening mist .
Sometimes it falls in the dry summer and sometimes in the wet rains -- this one XXXXX of the Tiger .
