Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky;And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper,

but the Wolf that shall break it must die.As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law

runneth forward and back --For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
