29 30 31 “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.”
Rudyard Kipling
