The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 18, sentence 66

Naught he found too lofty, none he saw too low-- Parbati beside him watched them come and go; Thought to cheat her husband, turning Shiv to jest-- Stole the little grasshopper and hid it in her breast.

Who acts: Naught, none, Parbati, men · What happens: find, see, watch, come, go, think · To what, where: men, husband, Shiv, little grasshopper, Grasshopper, breast
