This is a very weird way to handle data.
I would use a nested dicts:
exampleDictionary = {'thing on ground': {'backpack': {'tea': 'Earl Grey'}}}
print exampleDictionary['thing on ground']
print exampleDictionary['thing on ground']['backpack']
print exampleDictionary['thing on ground']['backpack']['tea']
Outputs:
{'backpack': {'tea': 'Earl Grey'}}
{'tea': 'Earl Grey'}
Earl Grey
