`` You seem to have won old Cropper over to your side entirely , '' Mr. Baxter told her that night . `` He said at the meeting today that you were the best teacher we had ever had and moved to raise your salary . I never knew Isaac Cropper to change his opinions so handsomely . '' Esther smiled . Mowgli 's Brothers Now Rann the Kite brings home the night That Mang the Bat sets free -- The herds are shut in byre and hut For loosed till dawn are we . This is the hour of pride and power , Talon and tush and claw . Oh , hear the call ! -- Good hunting all That keep the Jungle Law ! Night-Song in the Jungle It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day 's rest , scratched himself , yawned , and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips . Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling , squealing cubs , and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived . `` Augrh ! '' said Father Wolf . `` It is time to hunt again . '' He was going to spring down hill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined : `` Good luck go with you , O Chief of the Wolves . And good luck and strong white teeth go with noble children that they may never forget the hungry in this world . '' It was the jackal -- Tabaqui , the Dish-licker -- and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief , and telling tales , and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish-heaps . But they are afraid of him too , because Tabaqui , more than anyone else in the jungle , is apt to go mad , and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of anyone , and runs through the forest biting everything in his way . Even the tiger runs and hides when little Tabaqui goes mad , for madness is the most disgraceful thing that can overtake a wild creature . We call it hydrophobia , but they call it dewanee -- the madness -- and run . `` Enter , then , and look , '' said Father Wolf stiffly , `` but there is no food here . ''
`` For a wolf , no , '' said Tabaqui , `` but XXXXX so mean a person as myself a dry bone is a good feast .
