`` Now I know thou art a man , and a man 's cub no longer . The jungle is shut indeed to thee henceforward . Let them fall , Mowgli . They are only tears . '' So Mowgli sat and cried as though his heart would break ; and he had never cried in all his life before . `` Now , '' he said , `` I will go to men . But first I must say farewell to my mother . '' And he went to the cave where she lived with Father Wolf , and he cried on her coat , while the four cubs howled miserably . `` Ye will not forget me ? '' said Mowgli . `` Never while we can follow a trail , '' said the cubs . `` Come to the foot of the hill when thou art a man , and we will talk to thee ; and we will come into the croplands to play with thee by night . '' `` Come soon ! '' said Father Wolf . `` Oh , wise little frog , come again soon ; for we be old , thy mother and I. '' `` Come soon , '' said Mother Wolf , `` little naked son of mine . For , listen , child of man , I loved thee more than ever I loved my cubs . '' `` I will surely come , '' said Mowgli . `` And when I come it will be to lay out Shere Khan 's hide upon the Council Rock . Do not forget me ! Tell them in the jungle never to forget me ! ''
The dawn was beginning to break when Mowgli went down the hillside alone , to meet those mysterious things that are called XXXXX .
