[first lines]
English Girl : [as they ride up on horseback upon a group of villagers gathered in a circle around an old wise man] What a beautiful old man. What a lovely head.
Sikh : India's filled with old men mahila.
English Girl : But not like the one in the yellow turban. He's like a head of John the Baptist.
Sikh : The mahila refers to the storyteller?
Durga : Are these silent monsters at peace with us? It is but a true stray leap with man. But I who have seen the tusks-stained red with blood, I could tell you a tale of the silent ones... gor a few coppers, eh? Ay, for a bowl of rice?
[he initially draws back as the girl takes a photo of him]
Durga : What would you do with my image manasaheya?
English Girl : I would keep it, for a memory of India.
Durga : Verily, you would have all of India in your picture. Nay, you would have the book of the jungle to read in my eyes.
[she gives him a coin and he happily proceeds to narrate the backdrop and story of the jungle]
