Tanglewood Tales, The Pygmies., part 2, sentence 73

His pine tree went so deep into the ground, and stuck there so fast, that, before Antaeus could get it out, Hercules brought down his club across his shoulders with a mighty thwack, which made the Giant roar as if all sorts of intolerable noises had come screeching and rumbling out of his immeasurable lungs in that one cry.

Who acts: pine tree, Antaeus, Hercules, mighty thwack, sorts · What happens: go, stick, get out, bring down, make, come · To what, where: ground, that, tree, club, shoulders, Giant roar
