TO THE CHILDREN

My dear, I am now going to tell you many more Wonders of the Jungle, as
I promised to do in Book I.

In that Book, as you will remember, I promised to tell you more about
the elephants and about the laws of their herd. So I shall do so now.

Then I shall tell you about some animals which I did not describe in
Book I. Among these you may like to know especially about the tiger, the
lion, the leopard, and the wolf.

You may like to know how really _clever_ some of these animals are, and
how some of them have _affections_, just as we have.

But while you are reading about them, you must try to _think_. Then you
will understand _why_ these animals do certain things. And that will
show how clever _you_ are!

I have used a few new words in this Book. But I am sure you know them
already.

Now I shall begin with the laws of the elephants.
