The Jungle Book is the story about a human child Mowgli brought up in a thick Indian jungle raised by a pack of wolves. The book is one of the classic stories written by Rudyard Kipling. The story starts when Bagheera, the friendly panther finds a brown baby boy and brings him to the pack of wolves. Mowgli is then raised by the Mother Wolf as her own cub.

This is how the adventure of Mowgli begins in the jungle. Baloo, the big brown bear is Mowgli’s friend and teacher. Bagheera, the black panther is also his best friend. Mowgli learns all his jungle ways from the Father Wolf. He learns about the jungle, the sounds of jungle, business and every other thing. He makes friend with everyone in the jungle except Sher Khan.

Sher Khan, the tiger is the terror of the jungle. He is arrogant and thinks himself to be the lord of the jungle. He did not like the presence of a man in the jungle. In fact, looks for every opportunity to kill Mowgli.

Years later, Mowgli has grown up to be a young boy full of energy and strength. He has always obeyed the laws of the jungle. He has numerous friends in the jungle with whom he enjoys and have fun. But he knew, that one day Sher Khan will come to kill him.

One such day arrives when Baloo comes to Mowgli to inform him that Sher Khan has planned to kill him. Mowgli then very intelligently plans to defeat Sher Khan with the help of the bulls. Finally, Mowgli was successful in defeating Sher Khan and everyone in the jungle was happy. The story of Mowgli later ends with Mowgli leaving the jungle and his friends with tears in his eyes.

The Jungle Book is a very interesting story. It has been made into movies also. The Jungle Book is very exciting and adventurous. It taught me a lot about the bond of friendship and to help others. Baloo and Bagheera were always there to help Mowgli. It also teaches about the laws of nature and to face our own fear. Mowgli was afraid of Sher Khan, but he faced his fear and so could defeat him. It told us about unconditional love. The Jungle Book is entertaining, and is one of my favourite stories.
