«The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling

Jungle Book

The story commences with a tiger called Sheer Khan holding an infant in its mouth going into the jungle, where various animals live in order and peace in their own way.
It turns out that the young boy is saved from the tiger and is adopted by a wolf pack.
The boy is named Mowgli, which means “frog,” and he is raised as by a wolf as if he were a wolf cub.
Mowgli grows up to be a brave and smart wolf-boy under the protection and teaching of the commanding wolf Akela, the bear Baloo, and the leopard Bhageera.
Meanwhile, Mowgli becomes aware that he is different from the rest of wolves, who come to dread him for his differences. The wolves then chase Mowgli out of their pack.

Kipling draws upon the jungle animals’ coexistence through mutual friendship and love, even showing them as being self-sacrificing.
Kipling ingeniously draws upon the distinctiveness of the beasts living in jungle and love and friendship
between man and beasts.
