The grateful elephant, Opening, part 14, sentence 39

It isn’t you I blame,--not I,-- Nor the other monkeys in the wood; Vissasena alone is the one to blame, Who asked you to tend his trees for him.

Who acts: stanza, Vissasena, one · What happens: be, blame, ask, tend · To what, where: one, you, trees
