THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK By Rudyard Kipling CONTENTS How Fear Came The Law of the Jungle The Miracle of Purun Bhagat A Song of Kabir Letting in the Jungle Mowgli’s Song against People The Undertakers A Ripple Song The King’s Ankus The Song of the Little Hunter Quiquern ‘Angutivaun Taina’ Red Dog Chil’s Song The Spring Running The Outsong HOW FEAR CAME The stream is shrunk--the pool is dry, And we be comrades, thou and I; With fevered jowl and dusty flank Each jostling each along the bank; And by one drouthy fear made still, Forgoing thought of quest or kill.

Now ‘neath his dam the fawn may see, The lean Pack-wolf as cowed as he, And the tall buck, unflinching, note The fangs that tore his father’s throat.

The pools are shrunk--the streams are dry, And we be playmates, thou and I, Till yonder cloud--Good Hunting!--loose The rain that breaks our Water Truce.
