Used with permission. chapter 1 O Taming the Wildest What We've Made of Louis Prima jOHN j. PAULY For over forty years, Louis Prima had survived one change after another in the pop~ ular music business. He was, in succession, a trumpet section player in his home~ town ofNew Orleans, the front man for a popular New York City jazz quintet, and the leader of a touring big band. In the 1950s, with his career flagging, he reinvent~ ed himself as a spectacular Las Vegas lounge act, then nudged his career through the 1960s with help from his old friend, Walt Disney. He explored many forms of popular music along the way, but aspired only, in his own words, to "play pretty for the people." The same man who wrote the jazz classic "Sing, Sing, Sing," would also record easy listening instrumental music, Disney movie soundtracks, and ltalian~American novelty songs. In all these reincamations, he performed with an exuberance that inspired his Vegas nickname, "the wildest." Prima's career would end in deafening silence, however. He spent the last thirty~five months of his life in a coma, following a 197 5 operation in which doctors partially removed a benign tumor from his brain stem.

The Jungle Book
The Jungle Book The Jungle Book The story A wolf family finds a young boy wandering in the jungle and adopts him, giving him the name Mowgli. He becomes part of the wolf pack, and Baloo, the old bear and Bagheera, the panther, teach him the Law of the Jungle. However, Shere Khan, the tiger, doesn’t like having a child who will become a man living in the jungle, and wants to kill him. One day Mowgli is taken prisoner by the monkeys who live in an abandoned city in the jungle. Baloo and Bagheera get help from Kaa, the python, and rescue him. As Mowgli gets older he is in great danger from Shere Khan. The one thing that all animals are afraid of is fire, so he goes to a nearby village and steals a pot with fire in it. He uses the fire to fight Shere Khan, but he knows that he will have to kill Shere Khan to be safe. As Mowgli gets older, the animals begin to realize that he can’t live with them in the jungle when he is a grown man. He returns to the village where he is adopted by a family. But Shere Khan finds him. This time Mowgli kills Shere Khan. But the villagers are now afraid of Mowgli, so they chase him away and he returns to live in the jungle. 1 Explorers 4: The Jungle Book Teacher’s Notes This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanenglish.com/younglearners © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 The Jungle Book Introducing the book The contents page The cover • Ask the children to turn to the contents page.

1 the Jungle Book Scene 1
1 The Jungle Book Scene 1: Mowgli’s Found in the Jungle Basu: Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India. But none as strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. It all began when the silence of the jungle was broken by an unfamiliar sound. (O.S. Baby is crying) It was a sound like one never heard before in this part of the jungle. Bagheera: (enters on stage) It’s a man-cub! Basu: Had Bagheera known how deeply he would be involved with Mowgli, he might have obeyed his first impulse to walk away. But Bagheera knew this man-cub would need nourishment, and soon. It would take many days to travel to the nearest man-village, and without a mother's care, well, he would soon perish. Then it occurred to him. (Bagheera grabs the basket by his mouth and starts walking to the corner to the wolves’ family den. Bagheera places basket by cave and nudges basket, creating a cry from Mowgli. Bagheera hides on the side of the stage watching the interaction of Mother Raksha and 4 wolf cubs coming to see what the noise was) Basu: Bagheera knew a family of wolves that had been blessed with a litter of cubs, and he believed there'd be no problem with the mother, Raksha, accepting this man-cub into the family thanks to maternal instinct. But he wasn’t so sure about Rama, the father. [Rama comes from side stage, looks at the man-cub and smiling face of Raksha, looks at cute Mowgli again and smiles too.] Basu: Ten times the rains have come and gone.
