In a small forest in India, there was a small boy named Mowgli. He lived with a group of wolves, where the mother wolf found him alone in the forest. She took him and raised him with her cubs, showing him much care and affection. She feared for him and always warned him to stay away from the pack so he wouldn’t harm himself.
Mowgli used to play with all the animals in the forest, for he loved everyone and everyone loved him. So his friendships with animals multiplied, such as the bear Baloo, Bagheera the panther, the monkey, and many other friends. But only one animal hated Mowgli and was waiting for any opportunity to harm him. That was the tiger Shere Khan.
One time, while Mowgli was playing, Bagheera came to him running at top speed and informed Mowgli that Shere Khan was searching for him to kill him. But the jungle boy Mowgli reassured him and said to him: Don’t worry, my friend. I can protect myself from Shere Khan’s evil. Mowgli had a good plan to face Shere Khan’s danger, which he could execute with the help of wild buffalo.
Mowgli knew that his best way to face this tiger’s evil was to get rid of him in a clever way. So he began monitoring Shere Khan, who spent his time on a mountain slope without seeing him. Mowgli climbed the mountain carefully and began exploring the place without Shere Khan feeling his presence.
In the evening, Mowgli gathered eight strong wild buffalo with long, sharp horns and said to them: Today we will set a limit together to the terror that this arrogant tiger creates. Mowgli began explaining to the buffalo the plan of attack on Shere Khan.
Following the plan, Mowgli and the buffalo went around the mountain and climbed carefully without the tiger, drowning in sleep, noticing them. As soon as they reached the top, Mowgli said to them: Wait for my signal, then move with force toward Shere Khan. Everyone prepared, then Mowgli raised his hand as a signal to begin the attack.
The buffalo ran down the slope, kicking with their feet huge amounts of dust that filled the place, making vision difficult. Shere Khan shook from hearing the sound of this noise, which was like thunder. He managed with extreme difficulty to see the buffalo approaching him. He tried to escape, but before he could do anything, he found the buffalo over his head.
The angry buffalo pierced Shere Khan’s body with their sharp, long horns, and he fell to the ground bleeding until he departed life. The buffalo rejoiced at his death. Mowgli went with them to the forest with all pride to announce to people the news of the wicked Shere Khan’s end.
