Explain how the ending of the passage creates tension and might lead to a conflict:

All that day Mowgli sat in the cave tending his fire-pot
and dipping dily branches into it to see how they looked.
He found a branch that satisfied him, and in the evening
when Tabaqui came to the cave and told him rudely
enough that he was wanted at the Council Rock, he
laughed till Tabaqui ran away. Then Mowgli went to the
Council, still laughing.
