The verses of\u00a0<em>The Law of the Jungle<\/em>, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or &#8220;heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.&#8221;\u00a0Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time.The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned &#8220;man cub&#8221;\u00a0Mowgli\u00a0who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably &#8220;Rikki-Tikki-Tavi&#8221;, the story of a heroic\u00a0mongoose, and &#8220;Toomai of the Elephants&#8221;, the tale of a young elephant-handler.
