I watched an interesting movie. It is called Mowgli. A baby was left in the jungle, and a wolf pack found him and raised him. They called him Mowgli.
Mowgli liked living with the wolves. But a tiger named Shere Khan did not like people. The wolves were afraid he would hurt the boy. So the elders decided that Mowgli should go to the village.
Bagheera the panther went with Mowgli to help him get there. At night, when they were sleeping, a snake named Kaa came. He wanted to eat Mowgli. He hypnotized him and almost caught him.
Luckily, Bagheera woke up and hit Kaa. Then Kaa tried to hypnotize Bagheera. But Mowgli pushed the snake, and Kaa fell down.
In the morning, Mowgli saw elephants marching. He joined them and tried to walk like them. The leader of the elephants saw him and told him to go away.
Then Bagheera came back, and they continued their journey. Bagheera said, “You must go to the man village.” Mowgli did not want to go, and they argued.
Then Mowgli ran away and met a bear named Baloo. They quickly became friends.
Soon, monkeys took Mowgli and brought him to King Louie. The king said, “You can stay in the jungle if you teach me how to make fire.” But Mowgli did not know how to make fire, and the king got angry.
Then Bagheera and Baloo saved Mowgli and ran away with him. The next day, Mowgli and Baloo traveled together. Later, Baloo also said, “You must go back to the man village.”
Mowgli did not want to, so he ran away again. Mowgli climbed a tree, and Kaa came back to try to eat him. He tried to hypnotize Mowgli again, but Mowgli did not look at him, so it did not work.
Later, Kaa managed to hypnotize him again and almost ate him. But Shere Khan came and distracted Kaa. When the tiger left, Mowgli pushed Kaa, and the snake fell down again.
Later, Mowgli met some eagles. They wanted to play, but he felt sad. The eagles cheered him up, and he started to play with them.
Suddenly, Shere Khan came. He wanted to eat Mowgli, but he gave him five seconds to run away.
The tiger almost caught Mowgli, but Baloo came and fought him. Shere Khan almost killed Baloo. Then Mowgli found fire.
He put a burning stick on the tiger’s tail, and Shere Khan ran away. After that, Baloo woke up, and Mowgli was very happy.
When they came close to the man village, Mowgli saw a girl carrying water. They liked each other. Mowgli decided to stay with her.
