Just so stories, The Crab That Played With the Sea, sentence 62

So he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called Pusat Tasek--the Heart of the Sea--where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the Wonderful Tree, Pauh Janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts.

Who acts: Pau, water, waters, that · What happens: take, be, paddle, flow, come, call · To what, where: paddle, need, place, Wonderful Tree, hollow · Speech: someone speaks here
