From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every story of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
When Mowgli has driven the Pack back with fire, something hurts inside him and the tears run down his face. Bagheera tells him, “They are only tears.” Why should tears be the sign that Mowgli is a man? Underline Bagheera’s words, and list what else in this story sets him apart from the wolves.
