The Law of the Jungle by Rudyard Kipling — Read

Explore "The Law of the Jungle" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Just to give you an idea of the immense variety of the Jungle Law, / I have translated into verse (Baloo always recited them in a sort of / sing-song) a few of the laws that apply to the wolves. There are, of / course, hundreds and hundreds more, but these will do for specimens of / the simpler rulings.

/ 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.
