Then he turned aside to tell Bagheera how he had begged the Master Words from Hathi the Wild Elephant , who knows all about these things , and how Hathi had taken Mowgli down to a pool to get the Snake Word from a water-snake , because Baloo could not pronounce it , and how Mowgli was now reasonably safe against all accidents in the jungle , because neither snake , bird , nor beast would hurt him . `` No one then is to be feared , '' Baloo wound up , patting his big furry stomach with pride . `` Except his own tribe , '' said Bagheera , under his breath ; and then aloud to Mowgli , `` Have a care for my ribs , Little Brother ! What is all this dancing up and down ? '' Mowgli had been trying to make himself heard by pulling at Bagheera 's shoulder fur and kicking hard . When the two listened to him he was shouting at the top of his voice , `` And so I shall have a tribe of my own , and lead them through the branches all day long . '' `` What is this new folly , little dreamer of dreams ? '' said Bagheera . `` Yes , and throw branches and dirt at old Baloo , '' Mowgli went on . `` They have promised me this . Ah ! '' `` Whoof ! '' Baloo 's big paw scooped Mowgli off Bagheera 's back , and as the boy lay between the big fore-paws he could see the Bear was angry . `` Mowgli , '' said Baloo , `` thou hast been talking with the Bandar-log -- the Monkey People . '' Mowgli looked at Bagheera to see if the Panther was angry too , and Bagheera 's eyes were as hard as jade stones . `` Thou hast been with the Monkey People -- the gray apes -- the people without a law -- the eaters of everything . That is great shame . '' `` When Baloo hurt my head , '' said Mowgli -LRB- he was still on his back -RRB- , `` I went away , and the gray apes came down from the trees and had pity on me . No one else cared . '' He snuffled a little .
`` The XXXXX of the Monkey People ! ''
