"They never meant to do any more the Bandar-log never mean anything at all; but one of them invented what seemed to him a brilliant idea and he told all the others that Mowgli would be a useful person to keep in the tribe because he could weave sticks together for protection from the wind; so if they caught him they could make him teach them. Of course Mowgli as a woodcutter's child inherited all sorts of instincts and used to make little huts of fallen branches without thinking how he came to do it. The Monkey-People watching in the trees considered his play most wonderful. This time they said they were really going to have a leader and become the wisest people in the jungle so wise that everyone else would notice and envy them. Therefore they followed Baloo and Bagheera and Mowgli through the jungle very quietly till it was time for the midday nap and Mowgli who was very much ashamed of himself slept between the Panther and the Bear resolving to have no more to do with the Monkey People."
