The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 15, sentence 86

The Coppersmith is a bird who makes a noise exactly like the beating of a little hammer on a copper pot; and the reason he is always making it is because he is the town crier to every Indian garden, and tells all the news to everybody who cares to listen.

Who acts: Coppersmith, bird, tikki, reason · What happens: be, make, tell, care, listen, beat · To what, where: bird, noise, reason, town crier, news, everybody · Speech: someone speaks here
