The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 12, sentence 20

That nearly broke his heart, and he headed round the Horn back to his own beaches; and on his way north he hauled out on an island full of green trees, where he found an old, old seal who was dying, and Kotick caught fish for him and told him all his sorrows.

Who acts: That, seal, old old seal, Kotick · What happens: break, head, haul out, find, die, catch · To what, where: heart, way, old old seal, fish, sorrows · Speech: someone speaks here
