The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 4, sentence 122

None of the beasts could reach them, but on the other hand none of the beasts would notice them, and that was why they were so pleased when Mowgli came to play with them, and they heard how angry Baloo was.

Who acts: None, that, monkeys, Mowgli · What happens: reach, notice, be, come, play · To what, where: monkeys
