The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 11, sentence 24

One day, however, as he was lying half asleep in the warm water somewhere off the Island of Juan Fernandez, he felt faint and lazy all over, just as human people do when the spring is in their legs, and he remembered the good firm beaches of Novastoshnah seven thousand miles away, the games his companions played, the smell of the seaweed, the seal roar, and the fighting.

Who acts: Kotick, human people, spring, companions, seaweed · What happens: lie, feel, do, be, remember, play · To what, where: warm water, legs, good firm beaches, games
