Read the passage and answer the questions given below
carefully .
Now this is the Law of the jungle-as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that
shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth
forward and back-
For the strength of the Pack of the Wolf, and the strength of the
Wolf is the Pack.
Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too
deep;
And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is
for sleep.
The jackal may follow the Tiger, but Cub, when thy whiskers are
grown,
Remember the Wolf is a hunter---go forth and get food of thine
own.
Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle--- the Tiger,the Panther,
the Bear;
And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair.
When Pack meets with Pack in the jungle and neither will go from
the trail,
Lie down till the leaders has spoken –it may be fair worlds shall
prevail.
