The Frog seemed to relish his dinner very much, but every bit that the King's daughter ate nearly choked her, till at last the Frog said, "I have satisfied my hunger, and feel very tired; wilt thou carry me upstairs now into thy chamber, and make thy bed ready that we may sleep together?"
Who acts: Frog, daughter, thou, we, my · What happens: seem, relish, eat, choke, say, have · To what, where: dinner, bit, last, satisfied hunger, Frog, chamber · Speech: someone speaks here
