Guji Guji--Syntax Trees

Guji Guji is a funny story about a crocodile who thinks he is a duck. Watch Robert Guillaume read the story on YouTube:

At the beginning, a crocodile egg rolls into a duck's nest. The baby crocodile hatches (= comes out of the egg) and thinks he is a duck.

Try to make a syntax tree for these sentences:



An egg was rolling on the ground.
It was a crocodile egg.
The crocodile egg rolled into a duck's nest.
Guji Guji learned quickly.
Crocodiles can hide under water.
