"It may be that to eat and be eaten are the same thing in the end. My wisdom tells me that this is probably so. We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City. The same substance composes us β the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star β we are all one, all moving to the same end. Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child."

Jungle
Jungle (from Sanskrit: ΰ€ΰ€ΰ€ΰ€² jangala, meaning uncultivated land) is land covered with dense tangled vegetation, especially in the tropics. The word was long used as a synonym for tropical rainforest, although these usually do not have dense vegetation at ground level, save at openings, such as at riverbanks. Metaphorically, the word often refers to situations which are perceived as unruly, lawless, or where mere "survival of the fittest" or "laws of the jungle" prevail.
