What is the most important purpose of the narrator in

this excerpt?
Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by
Rudyard Kipling
A wolf accustomed to moving his own cubs can, if
necessary, mouth an egg without breaking it, and
though Father Wolf's jaws closed right on the child's
back not a tooth even scratched the skin, as he laid it
down among the cubs.
to show that the wolves can be very tender and
caring
to show that the wolves want to eat the man cub
O to show that the wolves can carry eggs in their
mouths
to show that the wolves carry their young in their
mouths
