The Punishment of the Stingy, and Other Indian Stories, The Blindness of Pi-waṕ-ōk, sentence 21

I had stabbed and taken the scalp of one Crow, and was turning to struggle with the other, when the dead one sprang up, all bleeding and sightless, the loose skin of the forehead hanging over his eyes, and with a loud cry struck me with the war-club still hanging from his wrist.

Who acts: I, dead one, all, forehead, war club · What happens: stab, take, turn, struggle, spring up, bleed · To what, where: scalp, loose skin, eyes, me, wrist
