Wake , Little Brother ; I bring news . '' `` Are all well in the jungle ? '' said Mowgli , hugging him . `` All except the wolves that were burned with the Red Flower . Now , listen . Shere Khan has gone away to hunt far off till his coat grows again , for he is badly singed . When he returns he swears that he will lay thy bones in the Waingunga . '' `` There are two words to that . I also have made a little promise . But news is always good . I am tired to-night , -- very tired with new things , Gray Brother , -- but bring me the news always . '' `` Thou wilt not forget that thou art a wolf ? Men will not make thee forget ? '' said Gray Brother anxiously . `` Never . I will always remember that I love thee and all in our cave . But also I will always remember that I have been cast out of the Pack . '' `` And that thou mayest be cast out of another pack . Men are only men , Little Brother , and their talk is like the talk of frogs in a pond . When I come down here again , I will wait for thee in the bamboos at the edge of the grazing-ground . ''
For three months after that night XXXXX hardly ever left the village gate , he was so busy learning the ways and customs of men .
