He panted up the terrace only to disappear to the head in a wave of monkeys, but he threw himself squarely on his haunches, and, spreading out his forepaws, hugged as many as he could hold, and then began to hit with a regular bat-bat-bat, like the flipping strokes of a paddle wheel.

Who acts: stone · What happens: pant up, disappear, throw, spread out, hug, hold · To what, where: terrace, stone, haunches, forepaws, many, monkeys
