Just So Stories, The Cat that Walked by Himself, part 1: the First Friend and the First Servant, sentence 26

Real life: horses were tamed much later, about 5,500 years ago on the grasslands of Central Asia, after cows, sheep, goats and pigs, which were tamed about 10,000 years ago; Kipling's order, Dog then Horse then Cow, is not the real one.

Who acts: order, Kipling · What happens: tame, not be, order · To what, where: horses, grasslands, cows, real one
