The buffaloes were anxious enough to get to the village . They hardly needed Akela 's yell , but charged through the gate like a whirlwind , scattering the crowd right and left . `` Keep count ! '' shouted Mowgli scornfully . `` It may be that I have stolen one of them . Keep count , for I will do your herding no more . Fare you well , children of men , and thank Messua that I do not come in with my wolves and hunt you up and down your street . '' He turned on his heel and walked away with the Lone Wolf , and as he looked up at the stars he felt happy . `` No more sleeping in traps for me , Akela . Let us get Shere Khan 's skin and go away . No , we will not hurt the village , for Messua was kind to me . '' When the moon rose over the plain , making it look all milky , the horrified villagers saw Mowgli , with two wolves at his heels and a bundle on his head , trotting across at the steady wolf 's trot that eats up the long miles like fire . Then they banged the temple bells and blew the conches louder than ever . And Messua cried , and Buldeo embroidered the story of his adventures in the jungle , till he ended by saying that Akela stood up on his hind legs and talked like a man . The moon was just going down when Mowgli and the two wolves came to the hill of the Council Rock , and they stopped at Mother Wolf 's cave . `` They have cast me out from the Man-Pack , Mother , '' shouted Mowgli , `` but I come with the hide of Shere Khan to keep my word . '' Mother Wolf walked stiffly from the cave with the cubs behind her , and her eyes glowed as she saw the skin . `` I told him on that day , when he crammed his head and shoulders into this cave , hunting for thy life , Little Frog -- I told him that the hunter would be the hunted . It is well done . '' `` Little Brother , it is well done , '' said a deep voice in the thicket .
`` We were lonely in the jungle without thee , '' and Bagheera came running XXXXX Mowgli 's bare feet .
