Enter Mowgli, lay on the ground reading a book (The Jungle Book), enter Monkey Leader from Stage L, Monkeys enter Stage L and R
(Chief ) Psssst. Hey you.
-
(Mowgli) Who me?
(Chief) Yeah, you....What's your name?
-
(Mowgli) Mowgli.
(Chief) That's a city name. Why are you in the jungle?
-
(Mowgli) It's a long story.
(Chief) You are always with the bear and the panther. Why is that?
-
(Mowgli) The bear is my teacher and the panther is my bodyguard.
(Chief) Why do you need a bodyguard?
-
(Mowgli) That is an even longer story. My parents died and I had nowhere to go. I got lost and wound up in the jungle. I was scared and alone and there was a really big, mean tiger and a whole pack of Jackals that were
hunting me down. I hid behind some boxes at a warehouse and stayed as quiet as I could....
(Chief) That must have been very scary.
-
(Mowgli) It was! And I thought they were going to catch me but then...
(Monkeys) Then what? What happened? Tell us more! We want to know! Go on!
(Mowgli) Then this beautiful she-wolf rescued me!
(Chief) A wolf? You have got to be kidding me. A wolf rescued you?
-
(Mowgli) She not only rescued me, but the wolves made me part of their pack!
(Chief) So, you are the man-cub that runs with the Wolf Pack.
-
(Mowgli) Yes I am.
(Chief) We've been looking for you.
-
(Mowgli) Looking for me, why?
(Chief) Well....we have some friends that would like to meet you.
-
(Mowgli) You do?
(Chief) You should come with us and we will introduce you to them.
-
(Mowgli) But I'm not suppose to go anywhere in the jungle by myself.
(Chief) You won't be by yourself. You will be with us. Come along, Mowgli. It will be an adventure.
-
(Mowgli) I should ask Baloo first.
(Chief) That won't be necessary....we will take good care of you.
-
(Baloo) Mowgli? Mowgli, where are you?
(Chief) The bear and the panther!
-
(Mowgli) Would you like to meet them?
(Chief) Not now. But you could still come with us. Quick, this way.
-
(Bagheera) Little Frog! It's time for your lessons.
(Mowgli) I better stay here. They won't like it if I'm not where I'm supposed to be.
(Chief) Your loss. Maybe we will see you again soon. Take care little man-cub.
