Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IV. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, sentence 124

She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.

Who acts: mushroom, eyes, that · What happens: stretch up, peep, meet, sit, fold, smoke · To what, where: mushroom, tiptoe, those, top, arms, long hookah
