Just so stories, The Cat That Walked By Himself, sentence 62

Next day, holding her wild head high that her wild horns should not catch in the wild trees, Wild Cow came up to the Cave, and the Cat followed, and hid himself just the same as before; and everything happened just the same as before; and the Cat said the same things as before, and when Wild Cow had promised to give her milk to the Woman every day in exchange for the wonderful grass, the Cat went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone, just the same as before.

Who acts: Next day, wild horns, Cat, everything, Wild Cow · What happens: hold, not catch, come up, follow, hide, happen · To what, where: wild head high, wild trees, Cave, Cat, same things, milk · Speech: someone speaks here
