The Mark Of The Wolf

Akela: Our scene starts in the cave of mother wolf and father wolf. Mother wolf, father wolf, and the man cub have just settled down for the evening. Shere Khan the tiger, lurks outside. Suddenly the moonlight is blocked by the great head and shoulders of Shere Khan.

FATHER WOLF: What does Shere Kahn want?

SHERE KHAN: The man Cub, give him to me.

FATHER WOLF: The wolves take orders only from Akela. The head of the wolf pack. The man cub is ours.

SHERE KHAN: The man Cub is mine, give him to me.

MOTHER WOLF: The man Cub is ours. He shall not be harmed. He shall live happily, to run and hunt with the Pack.

SHERE KHAN: We will see what the Pack will say about this.

FATHER WOLF: Shere Khan is right. What will the Pack say?

AKELA: Our scene now shifts to the Pack meeting.

SHERE KHAN: Akela, the man Cub is mine. Give him to me.

AKELA: This man Cub has shown himself worthy of the Wolf rank in our Pack. He has learned how to handle tools and how to display the flag, he knows how to be healthy and safe. He has learned to serve in the community and to conserve energy. He is physically active and likes to read and care for books.

He has fun with his family and has collected useful and beautiful things. He obeys our country's laws and worships God. The members of the pack want him to have the mark of the Wolf. (Hand out patches)
