The Bandar-log feature most prominently in the story "Kaa's Hunting ", where their scatterbrained anarchy causes them to be treated aspariah s by the rest of the jungle. Their foolish and chattering ways are illustrated by their slogan: "We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true." (see [http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/jngl-Log.html Text of The Road-Song of the Bandar-Log] ).
