Just So Stories, The Crab that Played with the Sea, part 2: Pau Amma loses his shell, sentence 31
Real life: putting your hand in a basin does make the water rise, because your hand pushes water out of the way; but that is not what makes real tides, which come mostly from the Moon's pull.
Who acts: putting, water, hand, that, real tides, Moon · What happens: put, make, rise, push, not be, come · To what, where: hand, basin, water, way, real tides, pull
