Just so stories, The Cat That Walked By Himself, sentence 66

Next day the Cat waited to see if any other Wild thing would go up to the Cave, but no one moved in the Wet Wild Woods, so the Cat walked there by himself; and he saw the Woman milking the Cow, and he saw the light of the fire in the Cave, and he smelt the smell of the warm white milk.

Who acts: Cat, other Wild thing, one, Woman, warm white milk · What happens: wait, see, go up, move, walk, milk · To what, where: one, Wet Wild Woods, Woman, Cow, light, Cave
