[xx] 

[buster] [bear] [carries] [off] [the] [pail] [of] [farmer] [brown's] [boy] 

the question is , [did] [buster] [bear] steal [farmer] [brown] ['s] [boy] ['s] [pail] ? 
1 the 2 question
2 question 3 is
3 is 4 ,

12 else 13 .

there is no doubt that he stole the berries that were in the pail when he found it , for he deliberately ate them . 
1 there 2 is
2 is 3 no
3 no 4 doubt
4 doubt 5 that
5 that 6 he

22 deliberately 23 ate
23 ate 24 them
24 them 25 .

he knew well enough that some one must have picked them for whoever heard of blueberries growing in tin pails ? 
1 he 2 knew
2 knew 3 well
3 well 4 enough
4 enough 5 that
5 that 6 some
6 some 7 one
7 one 8 must
8 must 9 have
9 have 10 picked
