with solemnity.
Though he was in a jungle, of a sort, he swore to himself
never to become an animal, to instead hold himself with perfect dignity in his

and a calm, reasonable demeanor.
Which he did, through all the days of his life, and this
attitude allowed him great success.
He never was distracted by anything so foolish as a hat.
