The rainforest from below: understorey and forest floor, sentence 4

In cartoons a centipede always has exactly 100 legs and wears 100 shoes; a real centipede never has exactly 100 legs, because it always has an odd number of pairs, such as 15, 21 or 23 pairs.

Who acts: centipede, real centipede · What happens: have, wear, not have · To what, where: 100 legs, cartoons, 100 shoes, odd number
