Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard
Kipling
Akela raised his old head wearily: -
"Free People, and ye too, jackals of Shere Khan, for twelve
seasons I have led ye to and from the kill, and in all that
time not one has been trapped or maimed. Now I have
missed my kill. Ye know how that plot was made. Ye know
how ye brought me up to an untried buck to make my
weakness known. It was cleverly done. Your right is to kill
me here on the Council Rock now. Therefore I ask, "Who
comes to make an end of the Lone Wolf?' For it is my right,
by the Law of the Jungle, that ye come one by one."
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
PLEASE HURRY
