The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 12, sentence 104

You see, Kotick had never fasted for four months as the big seals did every year, and his deep-sea swimming trips kept him in perfect condition, and, best of all, he had never fought before.

Who acts: You, Kotick, big seals, sea swimming trips, seal · What happens: see, not fast, do, keep, not fight, trip · To what, where: seal, perfect condition · Speech: someone speaks here
