By virtue of my monopoly of brains...I am the Strength of the Strong, the Cunning of the Strong.Old Long-Beard
There was yet another way by which the strength of the meat-eaters increased.Narrator
What is strength without a double share of wisdom?Old Long-Beard
He had a thought. With joy and gladness he sprang up.Narrator
He did not understand, and was raging inwardly, as was his wont.Narrator
The strength went out of him, and he was sick and faint at the awful horror of it all.Narrator
It was the Law of the Meat.Narrator
And ever he looked for easier ways to do things.Narrator
They roared and snarled, while overhead the weasel-faced one grinned down at them.Narrator
The calamity was too great for speech.Narrator
