“Art thou willing further to drink his blood, that his blood may pass unto thee, that the bond of eternal brotherhood may be made strong and sure?”
“I am.”
Then turning to Selim, Simba asked:
“Art thou, Selim, willing to accept Kalulu as a brother, to be more than a friend to him, to share what thou hast with him, to defend him to the utmost of thy power against all enemies, and to stand by him to the death?”
Selim answered, “I am.”
“With what wilt thou seal thy promise?”
“With the blood of my right arm.”
“And what wilt thou give him as a sign?”
“I will give him my gun.”
“Art thou willing, further, to drink his blood, that his blood may pass unto thee, that the bond of eternal brotherhood may be made strong and euro?”
