Just So Stories (Rudyard Kipling), 2: How the Camel got his Hump, sentence 20

The poem says the cure for the hump "is not to sit still, / Or frowst with a book by the fire" ("frowst" = laze in a stuffy warm room), "But to take a large hoe and a shovel also, / And dig till you gently perspire" (sweat a little).

Who acts: poem, fire, you · What happens: say, not be, frowst, laze, take, dig · To what, where: cure, stuffy warm room, large hoe, little · Speech: someone speaks here
