But though a young wolf would have remembered that advice every hour, Mowgli forgot it because he was only a boy--though he would have called himself a wolf if he had been able to speak in any human tongue.

Who acts: Mowgli · What happens: remember, forget, be, call, speak · To what, where: young wolf, advice, boy, Mowgli, human tongue · Speech: someone speaks here
