We show that a modification of the Cabibbo theory leads to identical results concerning the leptonic decays of hyperons but additionally contains the ΔI=1/2 rule. The ΔI=1/2 rule so obtained is weakly broken, but the deviations are not inconsistent with experiment. (The estimated rate for K+π+π0 is somewhat less than experimentally observed.) The model differs from Cabibbo's theory in that GV (β decay)/GV(muon decay )=1 rather than cosθ=0.966. Branching ratios of the intermediate bosons are estimated.
