The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 9, sentence 33

All he wanted to do was to make a big circle uphill and get at the head of the ravine, and then take the bulls down it and catch Shere Khan between the bulls and the cows; for he knew that after a meal and a full drink Shere Khan would not be in any condition to fight or to clamber up the sides of the ravine.

Who acts: Mowgli, All, Shere · What happens: want, do, be, get, take down, catch · To what, where: head, bulls, Shere, condition, sides
