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 -- '' Kaa began . `` What cobra ? He that went away just now said nothing . He was hunting . '' `` It was another . '' `` Hast thou many dealings with the Poison People ? I give them their own path . They carry death in the fore-tooth , and that is not good -- for they are so small . But what hood is this thou hast spoken with ? '' Kaa rolled slowly in the water like a steamer in a beam sea . `` Three or four moons since , '' said he , `` I hunted in Cold Lairs , which place thou hast not forgotten . And the thing I hunted fled shrieking past the tanks and to that house whose side I once broke for thy sake , and ran into the ground . '' `` But the people of Cold Lairs do not live in burrows . '' Mowgli knew that Kaa was telling of the Monkey People .
`` This thing was not living , but seeking to live , '' XXXXX replied , with a quiver of his tongue .
