"Wood and water, wind and tree, Jungle Favour go with thee." - Rudyward Kipling
Meet all the original best-loved characters from the Jungle Book in these 3 fun-filled episodes, Mowgli comes to the jungle ith his parents when he is still only a baby and crawls out of the tent into the wilderness, Bagheera and Baloo try to push him back into the tent because Shere Khan and Tabaqui want to eat him. They fall to get him back to his parents and Alexander and Luri (a wolf couple) take him their family and name him "Mowgli."
After the death of Alexander, Bagheera becomes Mowgli's private trainer and teaches him how to hunt. In his 'coming-of-age-test' Mowgli and Lala (a wolf girl) must hunt two rabbits and three birds by sunset. Mowgli can't hunt like a wolf but he devises a boomerang which he has to use to rescue Lala from Shere Khan when things go a little wrong.
Bagheera tells Mowgli the stories of how Lala's father, Vermillion, has lost a fight against Alexander to become Chief of the village and how Alexander then died to save baby Mowgli from Shere Khan who came to eat him. Bagheera made a promise to Alexander that he would raise Mowgli to become a great wolf-boy.
