Tiger! Tiger!

From The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling

This story comes from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1894. It tells how Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, returns to the world of men but never forgets the jungle or his wolf family. When the tiger Shere Khan comes back to kill him, Mowgli uses courage, cleverness and the help of his wolf brothers to win. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story shows that true strength comes from loyalty, quick thinking and keeping your word—even when it is hard.
