The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 20, sentence 183

Good luck to every sergeant, then, that lets us pick our road; Bad luck to all the driver-men that cannot pack a load: For we can wriggle and climb, my lads, and turn up everywhere, Oh, it’s our delight on a mountain height, with a leg or two to spare!

Who acts: that, us, we, our · What happens: let, pick, not pack, wriggle, climb, turn up · To what, where: us, road, driver men, lads
