The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 4, sentence 56

Then he turned aside to tell Bagheera how he had begged the Master Words from Hathi the Wild Elephant, who knows all about these things, and how Hathi had taken Mowgli down to a pool to get the Snake Word from a water-snake, because Baloo could not pronounce it, and how Mowgli was now reasonably safe against all accidents in the jungle, because neither snake, bird, nor beast would hurt him.

Who acts: Bear, Master Words, Baloo, Mowgli, beast · What happens: turn, tell, beg, know, take down, get · To what, where: Bagheera, Master Words, Hathi, things, Snake Word, Elephant · Speech: someone speaks here
