Just So Stories, How the Alphabet Was Made, part 3: «the Alphabet, all complete», and how letters really began, sentence 5

All evening they draw signs in the smoke on the Cave wall and giggle, and Mummy says «Really, Tegumai, you're worse than my Taffy.» Next morning Taffy finds «Ya-las», water is running out, chalked on the water-tank, and she fills it before running to pull her Daddy's left ear.

Who acts: words, Mummy, you, Taffy, water · What happens: draw, giggle, say, be, find, run out · To what, where: signs, smoke, Ya las, water tank, sign, left ear · Speech: someone speaks here
