Laws keep society orderly and safe. When Mowgli was small, Bagheera paid a bull as a price for his life. To show respect for that bull, Mowgli must obey the law. Mowgli follows this law, which keeps him safe.
Explanation:
<em>The Jungle Book </em>is a collection of stories written by English author Rudyard Kipling and published in 1894. The main character is a boy named Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves and then <em>bought </em>by a black panther named Bagheera. Bagheera bought his life with a freshly killed bull and along with Baloo the bear began teaching him the Law of the Jungle. A part of the Law is that he must not eat cattle because a bull was sacrificed for his life.
Law is there to keep society orderly and safe. This is why we need to follow it. The jungle described in <em>The Jungle Book </em>is also a form of society. It has its rules that need to be followed. Bagheera introduces these rules to Mowgli, who obeys them and remains safe that way. This is the message of the given passage.
