Post by bunniefuu »

wake up

a new day is dawning there's beauty and

happiness everywhere

jump up

destiny's calling you and your friends

have so much to share

swinging through love on this great

adventure the spirit of nature will see

you through there are lessons to learn

about life and its mysteries lessons of

love that are waiting for you

look up

there's joy all around you nature is

wondrous but beware the law of the

jungle has a lesson for life but you can

still soar right up to the sky hold your

head up high

keep your courage inside

then sure as the sun and the stars are

above

you will discover

love

uh

hmm

huh

morning mowgli

where are you off to so early

hey mowgli wait up

it's me kimchi

hi whoa

what's going on

look everybody here comes mowgli

he seems mighty glum this morning maybe

he's running away from home after all

the trouble he's cause the wolves must

be sick of them

i wonder where he's going to live now

who cares as long as it's far away from

here

hey man cop don't take it personally

no this is how we talk to all human pets

don't get all steamed up here let's play

catch

here he comes

that doesn't

stop it i said stop it mowgli

leave that monkey alone

stop it mowgli that's enough now get

down from there

i said get down

all right mowgli what was all that about

now your injuries aren't serious

but you could have been badly hurt what

got into you anyway

i was watching you this morning when you

came by the riverbank

i thought you had come to say hello but

you kept on walking looking miserable

and downcast

something's obviously bothering you

mowgli

why don't you tell me about it come

isn't that what old friends are for

stop it

huh

you're not my friend humans don't have

friends that's all i am a hateful human

mowgli what are you saying

listen

no you listen i'm leaving this jungle

i'm the reason why vermillion went away

and sarah was beaten up nobody wants me

around here you know very well that's

utter nonsense

have you forgotten your mother lori

who's devoted to you

or your wolf brothers young shura and

accru who both love you so much

mowgli

does your mother know about this

well does she

i didn't think so now listen to me

youngsters who want to leave their

mother's care must obey the law

your brothers obeyed it and so must you

before you go out on your own you have

to have your mother's permission

but you've just admitted you don't have

it

if you leave like this you'll break the

law and who do you think will feel the

saddest

your own mother mowgli that's who

by running away you risk hurting the one

you love the most

now come on

go home mowgli

go home

but the others don't want me in the back

i don't belong there i'm human

how can you say that you may think

you're human but i believe you're a wolf

and so do luria accrue surah akhelah

baloo kichi and ka the serpent

are you going to tell me we're all wrong

and you're right

it's not like you to be so unreasonable

are you denying that you're the son of

alexander who loved you more than his

own life

answer me that mowgli

uh

laurie

that was disgraceful apologize to

bagheera

well

i'm not going to ask you again

i'm sorry bagheera

i didn't think you'd behave this way

mowgli as bagheera just said when you

left home without my permission you were

breaking the law

i know you're upset

and if you've forgotten that you once

promised your father you'd be an

honorable wolf

that's all right with me if you've

forgotten that you're the son of

alexander and lori

well that's all right too

you see i'm your mother and i'm never

going to forget those things

and whatever your future may hold i'll

always be your mother and i'll always

love you

bagheera let's go home i guess now it's

up to mowgli

mother

come on

what's the matter

you're all scratched up

well how did this happen

were you fighting of course not i

wouldn't do that

then how do you explain all these

scratches i'd hardly call them scratches

they're just nicks

oh all right they're scratches

the truth is i got into a nasty fight

with some monkeys huh i know it's hard

to believe i'd do such a thing but those

monkeys called me some very insulting

names

my temper got the better of me and out

came the claws

hmm

pretty soon i was up against a whole

g*ng of irate primates they were tough

customers

you mean a bunch of monkeys did this to

you they're a lot meaner than they used

to be

lurie what's happened to mowgli

maybe he's run away

though i wouldn't have thought he'd be

brave enough to leave his mother

i believe he's gone down to the river to

take a swim that's all right then

but i want you to keep a close watch

over him lurie

wolf pack hear me

mowgli is as good a wolf as any of us i

want you all to stop being rude to him

don't look at me like that

what about your wounds

oh don't worry about them

a couple of little scrapes never hurt

anybody

bagheera

it's all right mowgli doesn't have fangs

or claws like other jungle animals so he

didn't do much damage forgive him

of course i do he meant no harm i just

hope he's all right

bagheera would you keep an eye on mowgli

for me

well now how's surah oh he's feeling

better

he's had plenty of rest and he should be

back on his feet in no time at all it

sure helps to have acre looking after me

but i'm really worried about mowgli

he's been so hurt by all the mean

remarks everyone has made hmm

he has suffered

mowgli is hurt and confused

early this morning he ran away what ran

away then we have to bring him back

don't worry he'll be all right

in fact i'm sure he'll come home in a

few days

his heart will lead him back

but in the meantime we mustn't tell

anyone mowgli has run away

after everything that's happened we

don't want the pack to know about this

understood mother i'm going out to look

for mowgli

no don't

we owe it to mowgli to leave him be

he has some important decisions to make

alone we must wait for him

wait for him and trust in him

i see he's run away

his young heart is confused and i should

have seen this coming

we both should have blue

i still can't believe he actually

attacked you

to attack his very dearest friend he

must have felt terrible

hello

what is it i need a favor

hmm

lurie has asked me to keep an eye on

mowgli but i'm worried that he might

spot me

where do i fit in you could call your

friend chill the kitebird

i understand with his good eyesight he

could keep watch from above exactly

then chill could let us know if mowgli

was in any trouble

hmm good idea

with chill's help we can keep an eye on

mowgli and he won't even know it of

course chill won't do us a favor like

that for nothing so we'd better be ready

to offer him some food i guess we'll

just go hungry for mowgli's sake

jill the kite bird

where is that vulture

ah

what is it

moving the man cub has run away hmm

i suppose you want me to look for him is

that it

yes will you do it chill for a price

i don't come cheap

i want something tasty how about a

rabbit

a rabbit what a nasty bird pardon

nasty no i said tasty

a tasty rabbit is what we're going to

give you for finding mowgli that's

better

once you find him watch him closely and

let bajira and me know if he's in danger

oh well now just a moment

if i have to spend some of my valuable

time watching over the man cub then i

want a decent price let's say two

rabbits

oh all right two rabbits good you've got

a deal

and be sure you don't tell anyone

mowgli's run away you can count on me

so

it's lonesome out here

i guess i'd better find myself a lair

ah

wow

i'll be safe up here

i'm glad to see you

uh

that was close

hmm

a child is learning

in nature's special way he's

beginning to see

all the beauty in this world today

his eyes are gleaming

at every sight and sound with ears in no

scent hearts

he feels that love is all around

but this world can be confusing

and learning can be hard

when lessons that you often learn

mean danger looks beneath the stars so

take good care of nature's friends and

they'll take good care of you

then we can all live together

as one

you
