I'm not sure about that, I suspect your memory is probably clearer than mine on this point. I was just horribly disappointed that he returned to human society, turning his back on those who had raised him and taught him the Law of the Jungle. I wanted to live in the canopy, hunting with Bagheera and Baloo, and wandering with the pups of Mother Wolf. I wanted to run from Sher Khan and explore the dark shrines hidden by the overgrowth. It was a magic world where there was no concrete and no bullying. So much better.

But, my life wasn't in a jungle, at least not that type of jungle. So I lived it through Mowgli and it always felt as if he turned his back on me too when he crossed that field at night to listen at the doorway and peer into the windows of the settlement of man.
