Explanation:

“The Jungle Book” by “Rudyard Kipling” teaches that one should be ready to face even death to protect his family.  

In the given lines from the story, Bagheera explained why the animals wanted to kill Mowgli. He was a human and doesn't fit in the jungle. His eyes, feet did not match with that of animals. So, Mowgli even returned to the village for his own safety and protection. Also, Shere Khan hated humans and wanted to break the Law of the Jungle by killing a man: Mowgli. Thus, Mowgli decided to leave the pack.
