    Shere Khan demanded that the wolves turn over a human cub that had taken refuge in their cave. Father Wolf refused because the wolves did not take orders from Shere Khan. When Shere Khan did not back down, Mother Wolf confronted him and drove him away from the cave, protecting the human cub. Shere Khan left angrily, saying the pack would hear about the wolves raising a human cub.

    The moonlight was blocked from the mouth of the cave, for Shere Khan’s great square head

    and shoulders were pushed into the entrance. Tabaqui, behind him, was squeaking. “My
    lord, my lord, it went in here!”

    “Shere Khan does us great honour,” said Father Wolf, but his eyes were very angry. “What
    does Shere Khan need?”

    “My quarry. A man’s cub went this way,” said Shere Khan. “Its parents have run off. Give it
    to me.”

    Shere Khan had jumped too near a woodcutter’s campfire and was furious from the pain of
    his hurting feet. But Father Wolf knew that the mouth of the cave was too narrow for a tiger
    to come in. Even where Shere Khan stood now, his shoulders and fore paws were cramped
    because there wasn’t enough room.

    “The wolves are a free people,” said Father Wolf. “They take orders from the Head of the
    Pack, and not from any striped cattle-killer. The man’s cub is ours – to kill if we choose.”

    “You choose and you do not choose! What talk is this of choosing? By the bull that I killed,
    am I to stand with my nose inside your dog’s den waiting for what is mine? It is I, Shere
    Khan, who speaks!”

    The tiger’s roar filled the cave with thunder. Mother Wolf shook herself clear of the cubs and
    jumped forward, her eyes like two green moons in the darkness, facing the blazing eyes of
    Shere Khan.

    “And it is I, Raksha, who answers. The man’s cub is mine! He shall not be killed. He shall live
    to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack; and in the end, look at you, hunter of little
    naked cubs – frog-eater – fish-killer – he shall hunt you! Now leave, or by the animal that I
    killed (I do not eat starved cattle), you will go back to your mother weaker than the day you
    were born! Go!”

    Father Wolf looked on amazed. He had almost forgotten the days when he won Mother Wolf
    in a fair fight from five other wolves. Shere Khan might have faced Father Wolf, but he could
    not stand up against Mother Wolf. He knew that because of his position, she had the
    advantage and would fight to the death. So he backed out of the cave mouth growling, and
    when he was clear he shouted, “Each dog barks in his own yard! We will see what the Pack
    will say to this looking after of man cubs. The cub is mine, and to my teeth he will come in
    the end, O bush-tailed thieves!”
