Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 2, sentence 82

It was a life-like picture of their recent adventures, showing them in the cave of Polyphemus, and how they had put out his one great moony eye; while in another part of the tapestry they were untying the leathern bags, puffed out with contrary winds; and farther on, they beheld themselves scampering away from the gigantic king of the Laestrygons, who had caught one of them by the leg.

Who acts: web, recent adventures, voyagers, leg · What happens: be, show, put out, untie, puff out, behold · To what, where: like picture, voyagers, one great moony eye, leathern bags, part, Laestrygons
