Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter I. Down the Rabbit-Hole, sentence 56

“No, I’ll look first,” she said, “and see whether it’s marked ‘_poison_’ or not”; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they _would_ not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger _very_ deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked “poison,” it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.

Who acts: Alice, children, histories, red hot poker, you, neck · What happens: look, say, see, mark, read, get · To what, where: neck, several nice little histories, simple rules, friends, you, finger · Speech: someone speaks here
