Note: this article has a large overlap with the article on The Jungle Book. Should some of this material be moved there instead?

New idea: separate article for each story... Lee M 17:42, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Started with "Mowgli's Brothers" but still a lot to do.

Hmm. I've been meaning (famous last words) to write articles for all the Jungle Book stories for ages now...it's not as if I don't have access to the source material, after all. Soon, hopefully. Lee M 03:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

1. 1. 1. I think Mowgli was originally stolen by a Shere Khan from humans and escaped when Shere Khan clumsily stumbled into the fire. Later Buldeo the village chief remarks, that Messua's son was also taken by tiger.

Yes, but Mowgli suspects that Messua's son was a different boy. In The Jungle Play Mowgli finds proof that he isn't Messua's son, but I admit I've always preferred the book for keeping it ambiguous. Lee M 19:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is better if we never find out for certain. Das Baz 17:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

In Tiger! Tiger!, Messua herself concludes that Mowgli is not Nathoo: ""No," she said, sorrowfully; "those feet have never worn shoes, but thou art very like my Nathoo, and thou shalt be my son."" Piers1943 (talk) 15:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
