Overture
Soundtrack: Jungle Prologue
Narration:
Our tale begins deep in the heart of the Jungle. It concerns a baby boy, lost and
abandoned in a boat. A panther named Bagheera one day comes across an abandoned boat,
in which a small baby is seen. Taking pity on the baby, Bagheera takes it to a small family of
wolves, who adopt the boy. The lost baby boy is raised by wolves, grew up into a young man-
cub, and he is called "Mowgli".
Our dearest Daddies and Mommies, teachers and friends, Al Faris International School
grades one and two of the boys’ section are proud to showcase our talents in a musical stage
play adaptation of the famous “The Jungle Book”!

staying
with us.

ACT 2 – The Law of the Jungle


Soundtrack: Kaa the Snake and Trust in Me
Narration: Shere Kahn, the tiger, decides that Mowgli is no longer welcome in the Jungle. To
keep him out of danger, Bagheera, the panther, plans to guide Mowgli to the safety of the
man village, but Mowgli doesn't want to leave his home. The two settle down for the night
under a coconut tree, but their peaceful night is interrupted by Kaa, the Snake. Bagheera
doesn't notice as Kaa lulls Mowgli into a deep sleep, then wakes up to find Kaa coiled around
Mowgli and chases the snake away.

Poem Recitation:
All: Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;
Group A: And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper…..
Group B: …..but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
Group A: As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk…..
Group B: the Law runneth forward and back —
Group A: For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf……
Group B: ……and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
All: For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf,
And the strength of the Wolf is the Pack!!!

Dance Presentations: Mowgli, Bagheera and the Snake group


(Mowgli and Bagheera walk around the trees and stop in the middle.)
Mowgli: Bagheera, I’m getting a little sleepy. Shouldn’t we start back home?
Bagheera: Mowgli, this time we’re not going back. I’m taking you to a man village.
Mowgli: But why?
Bagheera: Because Shere Khan the tiger has returned to this part of the jungle, and he wants
to hurt you.
Mowgli: Me? But I’ve never even met him.
Bagheera: He hates Man. Man makes fire and hunts tigers with guns.
Mowgli: But I want to stay in the jungle!
Bagheera: It’s not safe for you anymore.
Mowgli: (A bit angry) Not safe for me anymore. Ha!
(Walks away and climbs up a tree where Kaa and the Snakes await him.)

What’s your name, kid?
Bagheera: Mowgli. And he’s going to the Man village right now.
Baloo: Man village? They’ll ruin him. They’ll make a man out of him.
Mowgli: Oh, Baloo, I want to stay here with you.
Baloo: Of course you do.
Bagheera: And just how do you think he will survive?
Baloo: How will he survive? How will he survive? Why, it’s easy! All you need are the bare
necessities, right, everybody?

Song Productions: Bare Necessities


ALL: Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities.
Forget about your worries and your strife. I mean the bare necessities, or Mother
Nature’s recipes that bring the bare necessities of life! Wherever I wander,
wherever I roam, I couldn’t be fonder of my big home.
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree to make some honey just for me.
You look under the rocks and plants and take a glance at the fancy ants,
then maybe try a few.
The bare necessities of life will come to you. They’ll come to you.

They’ll come to you! They’ll come to you.
They’ll come to you! You! They’ll come to you! You! You!
