Alice in Wonderland, chapter IV, part 2: Little Bill, the pebbles and the puppy, sentence 19

She looks under the big mushroom, on both sides of it and behind it, and then thinks of looking on the top: there, on top of the mushroom, as tall as she is, sits a large blue caterpillar "with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah"; a hookah is a tall smoking pipe with water in it, and smoking is very bad for health.

Who acts: Alice, hookah, smoking · What happens: look, think, be, sit, fold, smoke · To what, where: large blue caterpillar, top, long hookah, tall smoking pipe · Speech: someone speaks here
