The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 5, sentence 74

They found him stretched out on a warm ledge in the afternoon sun, admiring his beautiful new coat, for he had been in retirement for the last ten days changing his skin, and now he was very splendid--darting his big blunt-nosed head along the ground, and twisting the thirty feet of his body into fantastic knots and curves, and licking his lips as he thought of his dinner to come.

Who acts: Baloo, Bagheera, last ten days · What happens: find, stretch out, admire, be, change, dart · To what, where: Bagheera, warm ledge, beautiful new coat, skin, big nosed head, ground · Speech: someone speaks here
