The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 10, sentence 3

They clambered up the Council Rock together, and Mowgli spread the skin out on the flat stone where Akela used to sit, and pegged it down with four slivers of bamboo, and Akela lay down upon it, and called the old call to the Council, “Look--look well, O Wolves,” exactly as he had called when Mowgli was first brought there.

Who acts: feet, Mowgli, Akela · What happens: clamber up, spread out, use, sit, peg down, lie down · To what, where: Council Rock, skin, flat stone, bamboo, old call, Council · Speech: someone speaks here
