The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 5, sentence 109

“It--it is the Bandar-log that we follow now,” said Baloo, but the words stuck in his throat, for that was the first time in his memory that one of the Jungle-People had owned to being interested in the doings of the monkeys.

Who acts: log, we, Baloo, words, that, one Jungle People · What happens: be, follow, say, stick, own · To what, where: Bandar log, throat, memory, doings · Speech: someone speaks here
