It was the jackal – Tabaqui, the Dish-licker – and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish-heaps. They are afraid of him too, because Tabaqui, more than any one else in the jungle, is apt to go mad, and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of any one, and runs through the forest biting everything in his way. —“Mowgli’s Brothers,” The Jungle Book,
Rudyard Kipling

to tell readers how the wolves feel about Tabaqui and why they feel that way
to tell readers how Tabaqui survives in the jungle

to tell readers why Tabaqui is called the Dish-licker
