1
Little Pops Mowgli explained his plan to Akela.
2
Then, Akela and Gray Brother got to work.
3
The two wolves ran in and out of the herd of buffalo.
4
They separated the herd into two groups.
5
The females and young buffalo were in one group.
6
in one group.
7
They glared and pawed, ready to attack the wolves.
8
The male buffalo stood together in the other group.
9
They were bigger and looked more threatening.
10
But Mowgli knew they were less dangerous than the females.
11
The males had no young calves to protect.
12
Mowgli slipped onto Rama's back.
13
Akayla, drive your herd left, toward the head of this big ravine.
14
Gray Brother, drive the females to the ravine's other end.
15
Keep them there till we come down.
16
Akayla howled, and his group took off.
17
Gray Brother began to lead the females in the opposite direction.
18
Meanwhile, some of the village children were watching the scene.
19
They hurried home with the cattle as fast as their legs could carry them.
20
The buffalo have gone mad!
21
They're running away!
22
Mowgli's plan was simple.
23
He planned to trap Shere Khan in the ravine, between the two herds.
24
Shere Khan had just eaten a large meal.
25
It would be hard for him to fight or climb up the sides of the ravine.
26
Mowgli rounded up the confused males at the head of the ravine.
27
They stood on a grassy slope that led down to the ravine.
28
Good, Mowgli thought, looking at the sides of the ravine.
29
The sides ran nearly straight up and down.
30
Thick vines hung over them.
31
That would make it even harder for the tiger to climb out.
32
Mowgli held up a hand to signal Akela.
33
Then he put his hands to his mouth and shouted down the ravine.
34
Shere Khan!
35
Echoes jumped from rock to rock.
36
A snarl echoed back.
37
Who calls me?
38
It's me, Mowgli!
39
He turned to Akela.
40
Bring the herd down now!
41
Down, Rama, down!
42
He commanded the buffalo.
43
The male herd stood at the edge of the slope.
44
Akela gave a hunting yell, and they fell forward.
45
They fell one after the other, like boulders crashing down during a flood.
46
In the ravine, Rama quickly caught Shere Khan's scent.
47
Now the buffalo knew what their job was.
48
It was a charge against a tiger.
49
Shere Khan first heard a thunder of hooves.
50
He picked himself up and looked from side to side, trying to find a way out of the ravine.
51
But its walls were straight and full of twisting vines.
52
And he was still sleepy and heavy from his large meal.
53
The stampede splashed through a pool of water.
54
The animals bellowed loudly.
55
Mowgli heard a reply from the females at the other end of the ravine.
56
Shere Khan turned to look toward the females too.
57
Then, the tiger whirled back toward the males.
58
The tiger knew by instinct that it was better to face them than any protective mothers.
59
Just then, Rama tripped and stumbled.
60
The beasts behind him crashed hard into the approaching females.
61
Soon, both herds were charging through the ravine, stamping and snorting as they ran.
62
Mowgli slipped off Rama's neck.
63
Quick, Akela!
64
Break them up before they start fighting one another!
65
Akela and Greybrother ran around the buffalo, trying to separate them.
66
Suddenly, the herd turned toward Mowgli.
67
They were ready to charge through the ravine again.
68
But Mowgli held up his hand.
69
Shere Khan was already dead.
70
Soon, hungry birds would be coming for him.
71
The dead tiger lay at Mowgli's feet.
72
We must work fast, Mowgli said to Akela and Greybrother.
73
I want to lay the tiger's hide at Council Rock.
74
They got to work preparing the hide.
75
Suddenly, the wolves dashed off, and Mowgli felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder.
76
Boldeo stood there with his gun.
77
That tiger's hide belongs to me, the hunter growled.
78
There's a big reward for it.
79
Mowgli rolled his eyes.
80
I'm sure you're planning to give me some of the reward.
81
I'm the chief hunter, Buldeo said.
82
I'm not going to give you any of the reward.
83
You caught the tiger only because of dumb luck.
84
He stooped over Shere Khan, looking at the tiger closely.
85
This tiger and I are old enemies, Mowgli said.
86
Then he waved an arm.
87
Akela!
88
Seconds later, Boldeo found himself lying on the grass.
89
A large gray wolf stood over him.
90
Boldeo blinked in surprise.
91
Mowgli had summoned a wolf.
92
This is magic of the worst kind, he thought.
93
Terrified, he lay as still as a stone.
94
What if Mowgli summoned more wolves?
95
Or he turned himself into a wolf?
96
Or tiger?
97
Great king, Boldeo said at last in a whisper.
98
Yes?
99
Mowgli grinned.
100
Now the hunter was afraid of him.
101
I'm an old man.
102
I didn't know that you were a powerful sorcerer.
103
May I get up?
104
Will your wolf tear me to pieces?
105
Go.
106
But from now on, leave me alone, Mowgli replied.
107
Let him go, Akela, he commanded.
108
Buldeo limped away to the village as fast as he could.
109
Every few minutes, he looked back nervously.
110
When he got to the village, he told the villagers about what he'd seen.
111
Mowgli and the others finished preparing the tiger's hide.
112
Mowgli hid it near a tree.
113
Then he gathered the buffalo herd and took them back to the village.
114
As he approached, bells clanged loudly.
115
Half the village seemed to be waiting for him by the gate.
116
The villagers are happy that I killed the tiger, Mowgli said to himself proudly.
117
They must be waiting to thank me.
118
Instead, a shower of stones whistled past Mowgli's ears.
119
Angry shouts rose.
120
Sorcerer!
121
Jungle demon!
122
Shoot him, Baldeo!
123
The old gun went off with a bang.
124
But the bullet missed Mowgli, striking a buffalo instead.
125
The boy just used magic again, a villager shouted.
126
He turned that bullet around with magic!
127
The villagers threw more stones at Mowgli.
128
He ducked, trying not to panic.
129
Akela and Grey Brother ran to his sides.
130
This is just like the wolf pack, Akela said.
131
They want you gone, Mowgli.
132
Last time, I was told to leave because I'm a human.
133
Mowgli sighed.
134
This time it is because I am a wolf.
135
Just then, Meswa ran out from the crowd.
136
My son, are the stories about your magic true?
137
Mowgli ducked as more stones whizzed by his head.
138
I'm not a sorcerer, Meswa.
139
You know that.
140
You must go away before they hurt you, she said.
141
A few people pumped their fists in the air.
142
Get away from the sorcerer, Meswa, they shouted.
143
Come back here, or we will stone you too!
144
Mowgli quickly hugged Meswa.
145
He thanked her for her kindness to him.
146
Then, he and the two wolves ran away from the people's village.

また、shadow speechを行う際には、音声のスピードがやや速いので、最初は一文ずつじっくりと声に出し、その後に全体を通してリピートすることをお勧めします。この方法は、YouTubeで英語学習する際の効果的なアプローチとなり、最終的には流暢さを加速させるでしょう。
英語のシャドーイングをすることで、リスニング力が向上し、会話における自信も高まります。ぜひ何度も練習を重ね、自然なスピーキングスキルを獲得してください。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
