Just so stories, The Cat That Walked By Himself, sentence 110

That very minute and second, Best Beloved, the dried horse-skin Curtain that was stretched tail-down at the mouth of the Cave fell down--whoosh!--because it remembered the bargain she had made with the Cat, and when the Woman went to pick it up--lo and behold!--the Cat was sitting quite comfy inside the Cave.

Who acts: minute, whoosh, Beloved, Woman, Cat · What happens: dry, stretch down, fall down, remember, make, go · To what, where: dried skin Curtain, mouth, whoosh, bargain
