What work of Kipling did Igor Severyanin have in mind when writing these lines? And wild honey dripped from the trees, and the cubs sank to the honey. Perhaps Kipling will understand these features better than others. - This is a contamination of two stories from The Jungle Book. In “The Red Dog” there is the following fragment: “Listening, Mowgli more than once caught how the honeycombs, weighed down with honey, rustled and slid, turning over and falling, somewhere in the dark galleries; then there was the angry buzzing of wings and the dark drip, drip, drip of dead honey, which oozed over the stones until it stopped on some ledge in the open air and flowed in slow streams along the branches.” 5.

Is it true that a mongoose, when bitten by a snake, finds a wonderful herb that cures poison? - No, these are just human inventions for complacency. 10. How many brothers - wolves did the Mongoose have? - Four. And that’s what they called it – Four. 11. How many crocodiles are mentioned in The Jungle Book? — Three: Gavial, Magar and Jakola 12. How old was Mowgli when he finally decided to go to the people? — He turned seventeen years old. 13. Continue the comparison: “... Shere Khan’s shoulders and front paws were cramped from lack of space; the same thing would be felt by a person trying to..." - "... to squeeze into a barrel." 14. Which Russian poet do these lines belong to and what book are we talking about? For this book, the epigraph of the Desert was hoarse, lions roared and Kipling reached out to the dawns of tigers. — This is a fragment from a poem by B. Pasternak, included in the book “My Sister is Life.” 15. What is the Law of the Jungle like? “As Baloo said, the Law of the Jungle is like a great vine that grows everywhere, and no one can hide from it. 16. What sign appears before a Water Truce is declared? — The river becomes so shallow that in the very middle of the river a narrow blue ridge of rocks appears - the Rock of Peace. 17.

Elemental fire is not subject to anyone, and therefore is dangerous; fire can only be tamed by a person - the enemy of animals from the Jungle. 23. How did the hero of the story “Quick of Faith” determine that ice fields were collapsing somewhere? — Kotuko tore off a thin plate of whalebone, straightened it and fixed it in the ice. A barely perceptible distant vibration caused this device to tremble. 24.

Chapter 1 "Mowgli's Brothers"
Compiled by I.I. Kaygorodova
1. How many wolf cubs were there in a family of wolves?
Mother Wolf was dozing, placing her large gray muzzle on the four wolf cubs, and they were tossing and turning and squealing, and the moon was shining at the mouth of the cave where the whole family lived.
2.Why do the wolves of India despise and fear Tabaka?
The wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he prowls everywhere, sows discord, spreads gossip and does not disdain rags and scraps of leather, rummaging through village garbage heaps. And yet they are afraid of Tabaqui, because he suffers from rabies more often than other animals in the jungle and then rushes through the forest and bites everyone who comes his way. Even a tiger runs and hides when little Tabaqui gets mad, because nothing worse than rabies can happen to a wild animal. We call it hydrophobia, and animals call it “divani” - rabies - and flee from it.
3. Why are the residents of the villages along the banks of the Wainganga angry with Shere Khan?
He has been lame in one leg since birth. That's why he only hunts livestock.
4. What did the Law of the Jungle say about human hunting?
The Law of the Jungle, whose commands are always based on something, allows animals to hunt humans only when they teach their cubs to kill. But even then the beast must not kill a person in those places where his pack or tribe hunts. Following the murder of a man, sooner or later white men appear on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of dark people with gongs, rockets and torches. And then it will be bad for all the inhabitants of the jungle. And the animals say that man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living creatures and it is unworthy of a hunter to touch him. They also say - and this is true - that cannibals eventually become lousy and their teeth fall out.
5. How did a human cub appear in Father Wolf’s family?
The bushes in the thicket rustled slightly, and Father Wolf sat down on his hind legs, preparing to jump. And then, if you were watching him, you would see the most amazing thing in the world - how the wolf stopped in the middle of a jump. He rushed forward, not yet seeing what he was rushing at, and then stopped abruptly. It turned out that he jumped up four or five feet and sat down in the same place where he left the ground. “Man!” - he snapped. - Human cub! Look! Directly in front of him, holding onto a low-growing branch, stood a naked, dark-skinned child who had barely learned to walk - soft, full of dimples, a tiny living lump. Such a tiny child had never looked into a wolf's lair at night. He looked into Father Wolf's eyes and laughed.
6. Who stood up for Mowgli at the Flock Council?
Listen to Bagheera! You can take a ransom for the cub. This is the Law. - I know that I have no right to speak here, and I ask your permission. - So speak! - twenty voices shouted at once. “It’s a shame to kill a hairless cub.” Plus, he'll be a great treat for you as he gets older. Baloo put in a good word for him. And to the word Baloo I’ll add a buffalo, a fat, freshly killed buffalo, just half a mile from here, if you accept a human cub into the Pack, as required by law. Is it so difficult? Then a noise arose, and dozens of voices shouted at once: “What’s the trouble?” He will die during the winter rains. The sun will burn him. What can a naked Frog do to us? Let him run with the Pack. Where's the buffalo, Bagheera? Let's adopt the cub!
7.Who taught Mowgli about life in the jungle?
- And I answer, Raksha (Demon): the human cub is mine, Langri, and will remain with me! Nobody will kill him. He will live and hunt with the Pack and run with the Pack! Then the only animal of a different breed, which is allowed to the Council of the Pack, stood up on his hind legs and grumbled - Baloo, a lazy brown bear who teaches wolf cubs the Law of the Jungle, old man Baloo, who can wander wherever he pleases, because he eats only nuts, honey and roots. - A human cub? Well,” he said, “I’m for the cub.” He won't harm anyone. I'm not a good talker, but I tell the truth. Let him run with the Pack. Let's adopt the cub along with others. I will teach him myself. Bagheera showed him a square box with a drain door, so skillfully hidden in the thicket that Mowgli himself almost fell into it, and said that it was a trap. Most of all, he loved to go with Bagheera into the dark, hot depths of the forest, fall asleep there all day, and at night watch Bagheera hunt
8. Why did Akela stand up for Mowgli?
Humans and their babies are very smart. Someday he will become our assistant. “Yes, an assistant in difficult times, for no one can be the leader of the Pack forever.”
9. Why was the place of the Leader of the pack free?
Akela is very old. The day will soon come when he will not be able to kill the buffalo, and then he will no longer be the leader.
10. How did Mowgli prove to the pack that he is a man?
- Listen, you! - he shouted. - All this dog barking is useless. You told me so many times today that I am a man (and with you I would remain a wolf for the rest of my life), that I myself felt the truth of your words. I will not call you brothers, but dogs, as a person should. It’s not for you to tell me what you want and what you don’t want—that’s my business! And so that you can see better, I, a man, brought here the Red Flower, which you dogs are afraid of.
11. How was Akela’s fate decided?
Akela is free to live as he pleases. You won't kill him because I don't want you to. I also don’t think that you will sit here for a long time, sticking out your tongue, like important people, and not dogs that I drive away, like this! Out, out!
12. Why did Mowgli cry?
- What it is? What is this? - he said. “I don’t want to leave the jungle, and I don’t know what’s happening to me.” Am I dying, Bagheera?
“No, Little Brother, these are only tears that people have,” answered Bagheera. - Now I know that you are a human and no longer a cub. From now on the jungle is closed to you... Let it flow, Mowgli. These are just tears.
13. Who did Mowgli say goodbye to before leaving to join the people?
“Now,” he said, “I will go to the people.” But first I must say goodbye to my mother.
14. What promise did Mowgli make when leaving the Jungle?
“I’ll definitely come,” said Mowgli. “I will come to place Shere Khan’s skin on the Council Rock.” Do not forget me! Tell everyone in the jungle not to forget me!
