The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 7, sentence 104

Bagheera gave him half a dozen love-taps from a panther’s point of view (they would hardly have waked one of his own cubs), but for a seven-year-old boy they amounted to as severe a beating as you could wish to avoid.

Who acts: Bagheera, you, panther · What happens: give, wake, amount, wish, avoid, point · To what, where: dozen love taps, head, point, one, beating, view
