This story, in which Mowgli appears mainly as an observer, may be seen as a direct ancestor of Kipling's Just So Stories. In this story the tiger comes to drink from the river just after having killed a human purely for sport, prompting Hathi the elephant to tell the story of why tigers, out of all the animals in the jungle, are allowed to hunt humans for pleasure at certain times. Shere Khan also appears in the story "How Fear Came", which is set between the first and second halves of "Mowgli's Brothers," and probably some time after "Kaa's Hunting". Mowgli goes to the human village, but swears that he will return one day with Shere Khan's skin. Akela leaves the pack to become a lone hunter. Having been warned by Bagheera, Mowgli attacks Shere Khan and his allies with a burning branch and drives them away. Shere Khan threatens to take over their hunting territory if the wolves do not give him Mowgli. When the young wolves maneuver Akela into missing his kill, the pack council meets to expel him. While Mowgli is growing up, Shere Khan infiltrates the wolf pack by promising the younger wolves rich rewards once Akela is deposed. Furious at losing his kill, the tiger swears that the boy will be his some day. Mowgli is accepted into Akela's wolf pack and protected by Bagheera and Baloo. When Shere Khan discovers the infant, it has been adopted by Indian wolves, Raksha and Father Wolf, who have named the child Mowgli. In "Mowgli's Brothers", Shere Khan's failed attempt to hunt humans causes a human "cub" to stray from his parents. The only creature who looks up to him is Tabaqui, the cowardly, despised golden jackal.
Despite this setback, the Shere Khan character is arrogant and regards himself as the rightful lord of the jungle. Shere Khan was depicted by Kipling as being born with a crippled leg and derisively nicknamed Lungri (The Lame One) by his mother. 3.1.1 The Jungle Book and The Jungle Book 2.With him dead and Chara and his cheetahs thanking them for freeing them of their tormentor ,the group celebrate their victory as they have once again triumphed against Raja`s legacy and peace finally restored in their jungle.
