Just So Stories (Rudyard Kipling), 4: How the Leopard got his Spots, part 1 (the game goes into the forest), sentence 9
The Leopard hunted with a man who had bows and arrows; parts of this story use old words and ideas about people that are racist and wrong, so we do not repeat them, and in these lessons we simply call him "the hunter".
Who acts: Leopard, man, parts, people, we · What happens: hunt, have, use, be, not repeat, call · To what, where: bows, old words, words, lessons, Leopard · Speech: someone speaks here
