The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 11, sentence 46

So now the eagle half of the griffin, who was still rather sleepy, believed that it was fighting a lion, and the lion part, being half asleep, thought it was fighting an eagle, and the whole griffin in its deep drowsiness hadn't the sense to pull itself together and remember what it was made of.

Who acts: eagle half, half, lion part, whole griffin, sense · What happens: be, believe, fight, think, have, pull · To what, where: lion, eagle, sense, half · Speech: someone speaks here
