All

thanks

,

Little

Brother

,

"

said

Kaa

,

though

his

eyes

twinkled

.

"

And

what

may

so

bold

a

hunter

kill

?

I

ask

that

I

may

follow

when

next

he

goes

abroad

.

"

"

I

kill

nothing

--

I

am

too

little

--

but

I

drive

goats

toward

such

as

can

use

them

.

When

thou

art

empty

come

to

me

and

see

if

I

speak

the

truth

.

I

have

some

skill

in

these

(

he

held

out

his

hands

)

,

and

if

ever

thou

art

in

a

trap

,

I

may

pay

the

debt

which

I

owe

to

thee

,

to

Bagheera

,

and

to

Baloo

,

here

.

Good

hunting

to

ye

all

,

my

masters

.

Well

said

,

"

growled

Baloo

,

for

Mowgli

had

returned

thanks

very

prettily

.

The

Python

dropped

his

head

lightly

for

a

minute

on

Mowgli

's

shoulder

.

"

A

brave

heart

and

a

courteous

tongue

,

"

said

he

.

"

They

shall

carry

thee

far

through

the

jungle

,

manling

.

But

now

go

hence

quickly

with

thy

friends

.

Go

and

sleep

,

for

the

moon

sets

,

and

what

follows

it

is

not

well

that

thou

shouldst

see

.

"

The

moon

was

sinking

behind

the

hills

and

the

lines

of

trembling

monkeys

huddled

together

on

the

walls

and

battlements

looked

like

ragged

shaky

fringes

of

things

.

Baloo

went

down

to

the

tank

for

a

drink

and

Bagheera

began

to

put

his

fur

in

order

,

as

Kaa

glided

out

into

the

center

of

the

terrace

and

brought

his

jaws

together

with

a

ringing

snap

that

drew

all

the

monkeys

'

eyes

upon

him

.

"

The

moon

sets

,

"

he

said

.

"

Is

there

yet

light

enough

to

see

?

"

From

the

walls

came

a

moan

like

the

wind

in

the

tree-tops

--

"

We

see

,

O

Kaa

.

"

"

Good

.

Begins

now

the

dance

--

the

Dance

of

the

Hunger

of

Kaa

.

Sit

still

and

watch

.

"

He

turned

twice

or

thrice

in

a

big

circle

,

weaving

his

head

from

right

to

left

.

Then

he

began

making

loops

and

figures

of

eight

with

his

body

,

and

soft

,

oozy

triangles

that

melted

into

squares

and

five-sided

figures

,

and

coiled

mounds

,

never

resting

,

never

hurrying

,

and

never

stopping

his

low

humming

song

.

It

grew

darker

and

darker

,

till

at

last

the

dragging

,

shifting

coils

disappeared

,

but

they

could

hear

the

rustle

of

the

scales

.

Baloo

and

Bagheera

stood

still

as

stone

,

growling

in

their

throats

,

their

neck

hair

bristling

,

and

Mowgli

watched

and

wondered

.
