Father Wolf: What do you want, Shere Khan? Shere Khan: I want my food. A man-cub came here. Give it to me. Father Wolf: We Wolves follow the Leader of the Pack, the man-cub is ours. What will our Pack say? Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When cubs can stand on their feet, the father has to bring them in front of the Pack. The other wolves have to see them and know them. After that, the Pack will look after the cubs, and nobody can’t hurt them. Akela: You know the Law. Look well, Wolves! Look well! Shere Khan: The cub is mine. Give him to me. Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When a wolf doesn’t want a new cub in the Pack, two other wolves have to speak for it. They cannot be its father and mother. Akela: Who is going to speak for this cub? Baloo: The man-cub? I will speak for the man-cub. A man-cub hurts nobody. I, Baloo, will teach him. Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When the Pack does not want a cub, another animal can buy that cub. Bagheera: There is a dead buffalo – a fat one – nearly a kilometer from here. I will give you that buffalo. But the cub has to live and run with the Pack. Pack: Why not? He will die in the cold months. Or he will die in the hot months. He can run with the Pack. - How many Laws of the Jungle are there? What are they? 3. Work in pairs. Make this conversation.
