Suddenly we got a phone call from Kiran, it was a message from our mom, when we got home we were supposed to quickly wash and change into our dresses.  There was a surprise waiting for us!  Our mom and dad were taking us to see the new movie “The Jungle Book”. When we were all ready we raced to the car. We were so excited!   Mom and dad also bought us dinner there including a big, huge, tub of buttered popcorn, and Raisinets.  They were so good.

The movie was about a little boy named Mowgli.  He lived in the jungle and his family is a pack of wolves.  When he was a baby he was found by Bagheera the panther.  Mowgli is about ten years old and Bagheera is taking him to the man village because he is growing up.  On the way, Mowgli gets lost and finds Baloo the bear, and they become very good friends.  The tiger Shere Khan wants to kill Mowgli, but his friends protect him.  There were some very scary, and sad parts in the movie, but there was a very happy ending.  I thought the show was fantastic! You should watch it!
