The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 5, sentence 105
They will say anything--even that thou hast lost all thy teeth, and wilt not face anything bigger than a kid, because (they are indeed shameless, these Bandar-log)--because thou art afraid of the he-goat’s horns,” Bagheera went on sweetly.
Who acts: Baloo, Bagheera · What happens: say, lose, not face, be, go on · To what, where: anything, that · Speech: someone speaks here
