If
you
can
imagine
a
lance
,
or
a
battering
ram
,
or
a
hammer
weighing
nearly
half
a
ton
driven
by
a
cool
,
quiet
mind
living
in
the
handle
of
it
,
you
can
roughly
imagine
what
Kaa
was
like
when
he
fought
.
A
python
four
or
five
feet
long
can
knock
a
man
down
if
he
hits
him
fairly
in
the
chest
,
and
Kaa
was
thirty
feet
long
,
as
you
know
.
His
first
stroke
was
delivered
into
the
heart
of
the
crowd
round
Baloo
.
It
was
sent
home
with
shut
mouth
in
silence
,
and
there
was
no
need
of
a
second
.
The
monkeys
scattered
with
cries
of
--
"
Kaa
!
It
is
Kaa
!
Run
!
Run
!
"

Generations
of
monkeys
had
been
scared
into
good
behavior
by
the
stories
their
elders
told
them
of
Kaa
,
the
night
thief
,
who
could
slip
along
the
branches
as
quietly
as
moss
grows
,
and
steal
away
the
strongest
monkey
that
ever
lived
;
of
old
Kaa
,
who
could
make
himself
look
so
like
a
dead
branch
or
a
rotten
stump
that
the
wisest
were
deceived
,
till
the
branch
caught
them
.
Kaa
was
everything
that
the
monkeys
feared
in
the
jungle
,
for
none
of
them
knew
the
limits
of
his
power
,
none
of
them
could
look
him
in
the
face
,
and
none
had
ever
come
alive
out
of
his
hug
.
And
so
they
ran
,
stammering
with
terror
,
to
the
walls
and
the
roofs
of
the
houses
,
and
Baloo
drew
a
deep
breath
of
relief
.
His
fur
was
much
thicker
than
Bagheera
's
,
but
he
had
suffered
sorely
in
the
fight
.
Then
Kaa
opened
his
mouth
for
the
first
time
and
spoke
one
long
hissing
word
,
and
the
far-away
monkeys
,
hurrying
to
the
defense
of
the
Cold
Lairs
,
stayed
where
they
were
,
cowering
,
till
the
loaded
branches
bent
and
crackled
under
them
.

The
monkeys
on
the
walls
and
the
empty
houses
stopped
their
cries
,
and
in
the
stillness
that
fell
upon
the
city
Mowgli
heard
Bagheera
shaking
his
wet
sides
as
he
came
up
from
the
tank
.
Then
the
clamor
broke
out
again
.
The
monkeys
leaped
higher
up
the
walls
.
They
clung
around
the
necks
of
the
big
stone
idols
and
shrieked
as
they
skipped
along
the
battlements
,
while
Mowgli
,
dancing
in
the
summerhouse
,
put
his
eye
to
the
screenwork
and
hooted
owl-fashion
between
his
front
teeth
,
to
show
his
derision
and
contempt
.

"
Get
the
man-cub
out
of
that
trap
;
I
can
do
no
more
,
"
Bagheera
gasped
.
"
Let
us
take
the
man-cub
and
go
.
They
may
attack
again
.
"
335
"
They
will
not
move
till
I
order
them
.
Stay
you
sssso
!
"
Kaa
hissed
,
and
the
city
was
silent
once
more
.
"
I
could
not
come
before
,
Brother
,
but
I
think
I
heard
thee
call
"
--
this
was
to
Bagheera
.
336
"
I
--
I
may
have
cried
out
in
the
battle
,
"
Bagheera
answered
.
"
Baloo
,
art
thou
hurt
?
337
"
I
am
not
sure
that
they
did
not
pull
me
into
a
hundred
little
bearlings
,
"
said
Baloo
,
gravely
shaking
one
leg
after
the
other
.
"
Wow
!
I
am
sore
.
Kaa
,
we
owe
thee
,
I
think
,
our
lives
--
Bagheera
and
I.

No
matter
.
Where
is
the
manling
?
"
339
"
Here
,
in
a
trap
.
I
can
not
climb
out
,
"
cried
Mowgli
.
The
curve
of
the
broken
dome
was
above
his
head
.
340
"
Take
him
away
.
He
dances
like
Mao
the
Peacock
.
He
will
crush
our
young
,
"
said
the
cobras
inside
.
