"Listen you!" cried Mowgli. "There is no need for this dog's jabber. Ye have told me so often tonight that I am a man (and indeed I would have been a wolf with you to my life's end) that I feel your words are true. So I do not call ye my brothers anymore, but sag [dog], as a man should. What ye will do, and what ye will not do, is not yours to say. The matter is with me. And that we may see more plainly, I, the man, have brought a little of the Red Flower which ye dogs fear." (Kipling 23)
