“ A man-trained boy would have been badly bruised, for the fall was a good fifteen feet, but Mowgli fell as Baloo had taught him to fall, and landed on his feet. ”
 Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book (1894). copy citation

“A scuffling mass of monkeys, biting, scratching, tearing, and pulling, closed over Bagheera, while five or six laid hold of Mowgli, dragged him up the wall of the summerhouse and pushed him through the hole of the broken dome. A man-trained boy would have been badly bruised, for the fall was a good fifteen feet, but Mowgli fell as Baloo had taught him to fall, and landed on his feet.
«Stay there,» shouted the monkeys, «till we have killed thy friends, and later we will play with thee—if the Poison-People leave thee alive.»
«We be of one blood, ye and I,» said Mowgli, quickly giving the Snake's Call.” source
