Kala raises Tarzan among the apes and he grows up as a creature of the jungle, fighting lions/tigers (but no bears, oh my!), and having many unseen encounters with the natives. Tarzan finds his old cabin and teaches himself how to read over the course of a decade. One day a group of foreigners become stranded in the jungle by boat as well, one of them being his cousin William Cecil Clayton, and another being an American girl named Jane Porter. And we all know how that turns out.
