The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 4, sentence 121

They were always just going to have a leader, and laws and customs of their own, but they never did, because their memories would not hold over from day to day, and so they compromised things by making up a saying, “What the Bandar-log think now the jungle will think later,” and that comforted them a great deal.

Who acts: monkeys, laws, memories, Bandar log, jungle, that · What happens: go, have, not do, not hold over, compromise, make up · To what, where: leader, things, saying, monkeys · Speech: someone speaks here
