[the wolves nod]

Akela: Now it is my unpleasant duty to tell the boy's father. Rama? Come over here, please.

Father Wolf: Yes, Akela?

Father Wolf: Leave?

Akela: I am sorry, Rama; there is no other way.

Father Wolf: But... but the man-cub is... is like my own son. Surely he's entitled to the protection of the pack.

Akela: But, Rama, even the strength of the pack is no match for the tiger.

Father Wolf: But the boy cannot survive alone in the jungle.

Bagheera: Akela, perhaps I can be of help.

Akela: You, Bagheera? How?

Bagheera: I know of a man-village where he'll be safe. Mowgli and I have taken many walks into the jungle together. I'm sure he'll go with me.

Akela: So be it. Now there's no time to lose. Good luck.
