- Chapter 2: The Injured Stranger Near an old banyan tree, Mowgli found a baby deer trembling with fear. Its leg was stuck between roots. “Don’t worry,” Mowgli said gently. He freed the little deer and carried it to safety. Just then, Bagheera appeared from the shadows. “Mowgli,” the black panther said softly, “that is Ruhani, the prince of the Eastern Herd. If something happens to him, the whole jungle will be in danger.” Mowgli gulped. He didn’t know he had saved a prince.
