He kicked the fire with his foot , and the sparks flew up . `` There shall be no war between any of us in the Pack . But here is a debt to pay before I go . '' He strode forward to where Shere Khan sat blinking stupidly at the flames , and caught him by the tuft on his chin . Bagheera followed in case of accidents . `` Up , dog ! '' Mowgli cried . `` Up , when a man speaks , or I will set that coat ablaze ! '' Shere Khan 's ears lay flat back on his head , and he shut his eyes , for the blazing branch was very near . `` This cattle-killer said he would kill me in the Council because he had not killed me when I was a cub . Thus and thus , then , do we beat dogs when we are men . Stir a whisker , Lungri , and I ram the Red Flower down thy gullet ! '' He beat Shere Khan over the head with the branch , and the tiger whimpered and whined in an agony of fear . `` Pah ! Singed jungle cat -- go now ! But remember when next I come to the Council Rock , as a man should come , it will be with Shere Khan 's hide on my head . For the rest , Akela goes free to live as he pleases . Ye will not kill him , because that is not my will . Nor do I think that ye will sit here any longer , lolling out your tongues as though ye were somebodies , instead of dogs whom I drive out -- thus ! Go ! ''
The fire was burning furiously at the end of the XXXXX , and Mowgli struck right and left round the circle , and the wolves ran howling with the sparks burning their fur .
