By the time his mother began leaving the cave on hunting expeditions,the cub¹ had learned well the law that forbade his approaching the entrance.

　　Not only had this law been forcibly and many times impressed on him byhis mother's nose and paw, but in him the instinct of fear was developing.

These limitations and restraintswere laws. To be obedient to them was to escape hurt and make forhappiness.

　　He did not reason the question out in this man fashion. He merelyclassified the things that hurt and the things that did not hurt. And aftersuch classification he avoided the things that hurt, the restrictions andrestraints, in order to enjoy the satisfactions and the remunerations of life.

　　Thus it was that in obedience⁷ to the law laid down by his mother, andin obedience to the law of that unknown and nameless thing, fear, he keptaway from the mouth of the cave. It remained to him a white wall of light.

　　When his mother was absent, he slept most of the time, while during theintervals that he was awake he kept very quiet, suppressing thewhimpering cries that
