The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The First of the Rattlesnakes, sentence 114

“And is that the reason why Ch’ah-rah-ráh-deh always rattles to give warning before he bites?” asked Fat Juan, who is now quite as often called Juan Biscocho (John Biscuit), since I photographed him one day crawling out of the big adobe bake-oven where he had been hiding.

Who acts: Ch’ah ráh deh, deh, I, one day · What happens: be, rattle, give, bite, ask, call · To what, where: reason, warning, Fat, big adobe bake oven · Speech: someone speaks here
