Shere Khan has gone away to hunt far off till his coat grows again , for he is badly singed . When he returns he swears that he will lay thy bones in the Waingunga . '' `` There are two words to that . I also have made a little promise . But news is always good . I am tired to-night , -- very tired with new things , Gray Brother , -- but bring me the news always . '' `` Thou wilt not forget that thou art a wolf ? Men will not make thee forget ? '' said Gray Brother anxiously . `` Never . I will always remember that I love thee and all in our cave . But also I will always remember that I have been cast out of the Pack . '' `` And that thou mayest be cast out of another pack . Men are only men , Little Brother , and their talk is like the talk of frogs in a pond . When I come down here again , I will wait for thee in the bamboos at the edge of the grazing-ground . '' For three months after that night Mowgli hardly ever left the village gate , he was so busy learning the ways and customs of men . First he had to wear a cloth round him , which annoyed him horribly ; and then he had to learn about money , which he did not in the least understand , and about plowing , of which he did not see the use . Then the little children in the village made him very angry . Luckily , the Law of the Jungle had taught him to keep his temper , for in the jungle life and food depend on keeping your temper ; but when they made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites , or because he mispronounced some word , only the knowledge that it was unsportsmanlike to kill little naked cubs kept him from picking them up and breaking them in two . He did not know his own strength in the least .
In the jungle he knew he was weak compared with the beasts , but in the village people said XXXXX he was as strong as a bull .
at for grazing-ground in like of that to to-night with
