(KAA appears with five coils, all hissing and rattling, and slithers over to MOWGLI.)

KAA 1

Ssss-say now. What have we here?

KAA 2

(giggles)
Oh, it's a man-cub.

KAA 3

A delicious man-cub.

MOWGLI

Who are you?

KAA 4

Why, I am Kaa.

KAA 5

Sssooooo nice to meet you.

KAA 6

I've been sssssooooo hungry for visitors!

(KAA encircles MOWGLI, who stiffens, not sure what to do.)

MOWGLI

Let me go!

KAA 1

Ssssssssilly man-cub!

KAA 2

Don't you trust me?

MOWGLI

No!
