:05:28
Ten times the rains
had come and gone.
:05:31
And I often stopped by to see how Mowgli
the man cub was getting along.
:05:36
He was a favorite of all
the young wolf cubs of the pack.
:05:54
No man cub was
ever happier.
:05:56
And yet, I knew
that someday...
:06:00
he would have to go back
to his own kind.
:06:06
Then one night, the wolf pack
elders met at council rock...
:06:11
because Shere Khan
the tiger...
:06:14
had returned to
their part of the jungle.
:06:17
This meeting was to change
the man cub's entire future.
:06:22
Shere Khan will surely kill the boy
and all who try to protect him.
:06:27
Now, are we all in agreement
as to what must be done?
:06:32
Now it is my unpleasant duty
to tell the boy's father.
:06:35
Rama. Uh, come
over here, please.
:06:39
- Yes, Akela?
- The council has reached its decision.
:06:43
The man cub can no longer
stay with the pack.
:06:46
- He must leave at once.
- Leave?
:06:49
I'm sorry, Rama.
There is no other way.
:06:52
But-- But the man cub is--
Well, he's like my own son.
:06:57
Surely he's entitled to
the protection of the pack.
