The Violet Fairy Book, The Two Frogs, sentence 13

The Kioto frog turned his nose towards Osaka, and the Osaka frog turned his nose towards Kioto; but the foolish things forgot that when they stood up their great eyes lay in the backs of their heads, and that though their noses might point to the places to which they wanted to go their eyes beheld the places from which they had come.

Who acts: Kioto frog, Osaka frog, foolish things, frogs, great eyes, that · What happens: turn, forget, stand up, lay, point, want · To what, where: nose, Osaka, Kioto, backs, places
