Just so stories, The Cat That Walked By Himself, sentence 136

That very moment and second, O Best Beloved, the Milk-pot that stood by the fire cracked in two pieces--ffft--because it remembered the bargain she had made with the Cat, and when the Woman jumped down from the footstool--lo and behold!--the Cat was lapping up the warm white milk that lay in one of the broken pieces.

Who acts: Milk pot, moment, ffft, Beloved, Woman, Cat · What happens: stand, crack, remember, make, jump down, lap up · To what, where: two pieces, bargain, footstool, warm white milk
