Tanglewood Tales, The Pygmies., part 2, sentence 9

When the Pygmy was quite satisfied that his eyes had not deceived him, he scampered, as fast as his legs would carry him, to the Giant's ear, and stooping over its cavity, shouted lustily into it:

Who acts: Pygmy, Giant, legs · What happens: be, not deceive, scamper, carry, stoop, shout · To what, where: eyes, Giant, Giant ear, cavity, move
