Just so stories, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, sentence 33

But the Parsee came down from his palm-tree, wearing his hat, from which the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour, packed up his cooking-stove, and went away in the direction of Orotavo, Amygdala, the Upland Meadows of Anantarivo, and the Marshes of Sonaput.

Who acts: Parsee · What happens: come down, wear, reflect, pack up, go away, ray · To what, where: Marshes, palm tree, hat, rays, more oriental splendour, cooking stove
