This is good hunting , and -- my last . But , as men live , thou hast very many more nights and days , Little Brother . Go north and lie down , and if any live after the dhole has gone by he shall bring thee word of the fight . '' `` Ah , '' said Mowgli , quite gravely , `` must I go to the marshes and catch little fish and sleep in a tree , or must I ask help of the Bandar-log and crack nuts , while the Pack fight below ? '' `` It is to the death , '' said Akela . `` Thou hast never met the dhole -- the Red Killer . Even the Striped One -- '' `` Aowa ! Aowa ! '' said Mowgli pettingly . `` I have killed one striped ape , and sure am I in my stomach that Shere Khan would have left his own mate for meat to the dhole if he had winded a pack across three ranges . Listen now : There was a wolf , my father , and there was a wolf , my mother , and there was an old gray wolf -LRB- not too wise : he is white now -RRB- was my father and my mother . Therefore I -- '' he raised his voice , `` I say that when the dhole come , and if the dhole come , Mowgli and the Free People are of one skin for that hunting ; and I say , by the Bull that bought me -- by the Bull Bagheera paid for me in the old days which ye of the Pack do not remember -- I say , that the Trees and the River may hear and hold fast if I forget ; I say that this my knife shall be as a tooth to the Pack -- and I do not think it is so blunt . This is my Word which has gone from me . '' `` Thou dost not know the dhole , man with a wolf 's tongue , '' said Won-tolla . `` I look only to clear the Blood Debt against them ere they have me in many pieces . They move slowly , killing out as they go , but in two days a little strength will come back to me and I turn again for the Blood Debt . But for YE , Free People , my word is that ye go north and eat but little for a while till the dhole are gone . There is no meat in this hunting . '' `` Hear the Outlier ! '' said Mowgli with a laugh .
`` Free XXXXX , we must go north and dig lizards and rats from the bank , lest by any chance we meet the dhole .
