The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 3, sentence 100
But for the sake of the Honor of the Pack,--a little matter that by being without a leader ye have forgotten,--I promise that if ye let the man-cub go to his own place, I will not, when my time comes to die, bare one tooth against ye.
Who acts: leader, I, ye, man cub, time · What happens: be, forget, promise, let, go, come · To what, where: ye, man cub, own place, one tooth, Pack
