Imagine you are Mowgli. Which animal
would you befriend? What kind of
adventure would you like in the forest?
Make use of the hints below to talk about
it.
Hi, I’m Mowgli. The only
human being living in the jungle.
I have been raised by a pack of wolves, in an Indian forest.
I go and hunt with my friends for food.
My close buddy is a black
panther.
His name is Bagheera.
He guides and accompanies me while hunting and exploring the jungle.
We enjoy loitering in the
jungle by climbing trees, swinging on vines, and playing in the river.
The jungle where we live is dense, full of tall trees, rivers, and wild
animals.
On the whole, I am
adventurous, brave, and happy to be part of the jungle family.
Read scene I of the play
carefully and answer the questions below.
1.
List the characters that appear in the scene. What human characteristics do
they exhibit?

protectiveness.

causing trouble.

the laws of the jungle.
- Narrator – Provides descriptions and background details.
2. The scene is set inside a thick forest and it is
nearing dusk. Relate this time frame
with the behaviour of the animals in the forest.
Relation of time frame with
the animals' behavior:
The scene is set at dusk,
which is when nocturnal predators like wolves and tigers wake up to hunt. The
darkness adds a sense of suspense and danger, as it is the time when the jungle
becomes most active.
3. Did Tabaqui receive a warm welcome from the pack of
wolves? How do you know?
No, Tabaqui was not welcomed
warmly. Father Wolf responded stiffly, and both Father and Mother Wolf seemed
uncomfortable with his presence. They knew he was up to mischief.
4. Tabaqui acts as c) a
messenger to the pack of wolves.
He brings the news of Shere
Khan’s arrival, though with ill intentions.
5. Whom does Mother Wolf talk about? How does she
describe him?
She talks about Shere Khan
and describes him as "Lungri" (the Lame One), a lame tiger who has
only killed cattle, making villagers angry. She expresses frustration over his
presence, as he will cause trouble for the wolves.
6. Who is about to go on a hunt? Do the wolves panic on
his arrival? Explain.
Shere Khan is about to go on
a hunt. The wolves do not panic but are angered and frustrated. Father Wolf is
annoyed because Shere Khan is breaking the laws of the jungle by hunting in
their territory without warning.

The
characters' entry in the play.

and contrast their character traits.

reaction of the characters on seeing the man cub.
Ravi: Tabaqui is the first
one to enter, bringing news of Shere Khan. He seems sly and enjoys creating
trouble.
Asha: Yes! He flatters the
wolves but actually supports Shere Khan. Speaking of Shere Khan, he’s
aggressive and selfish, only thinking about his hunt.
Rohan: True! Father Wolf is
strong and protective, but it's Mother Wolf who truly stands up to Shere Khan.
She is fierce and fearless!
Meena: And their reaction to
the man-cub is so different! Tabaqui and Shere Khan want to harm him, but
