"Good! Good!" said the young wolves, who were always hungry. _Listen to Bagheera!_ The cub can be bought for a price. It is the Law. Speak then. "To kill a naked cub is a shame. Besides, he may make better sport for you when he is grown. Baloo has spoken on his behalf.

At last, they all went down the hill for the dead bull, and only Akela, Bagheera, Baloo, and Mowgli’s own wolves were still there for him. He was still in the night, for he was very angry that Mowgli had not been handed over to him. "Ay, roar well," said Bagheera, under his whiskers, for the time will come when this naked thing will make the roar to another tune, or I know nothing of man.
