Just so stories, The Crab That Played With the Sea, sentence 80

As he rose up through the branches of the Wonderful Tree he tore off one of the great twin fruits--the magic double kernelled nuts that make people young,--and the little girl-daughter saw it bobbing alongside the canoe, and pulled it in and began to pick out the soft eyes of it with her little golden scissors.

Who acts: other, double kernelled nuts, little girl daughter, smoke · What happens: rise up, tore off, kernell, make, see, bob · To what, where: magic, branches, one, people, smoke, canoe
