Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. All that day Mowgli sat in the cave tending his fire-pot and dipping dry 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. How does the ending of this excerpt create tension and possibly lead to further conflict? Mowgli is about to meet the wolves, who are his friends and want to make him their new leader. Tabaqui is leading Mowgli to the Council Rock and will protect him from the wolves. Mowgli, armed with fire, is about to confront the wolves and Shere Khan, who want to kill him. The wolves are waiting for Mowgli to bring them the fire he stole from the village.
