Akela: The Law of the Jungle lays down that for a cub to be accepted by the pack, he must be spoken for by at least 2 members of the pack who are not his father or mother.

Who would speak for this cub?

Baloo: The man’s cub, the man’s cub? I speak for the man’s cub. I, Baloo, have no gift of words, but I speak the truth. Let him run with the pack and be entered with the others. I myself will teach him the Law of the Jungle.

Akela: Baloo has spoken, and he is our teacher for the young cubs.. We need another to speak for the man’s cub. Who would speak besides Baloo?

Bagheera: I, Bagheera, would like to speak for the man’s cub. Baloo has spoken in his behalf. Now to Baloo’s word, I will add one bull, newly hunted, not half a mile from here, if you will accept the man’s cub according to the Law of the Jungle.

Akela: Well done Bagheera. The man’s cub is accepted into the pack.
