The Book of Dragons, Kind Little Edmund], sentence 198

The dragon bore it as long as she could, but, like everyone else, she couldn't stand being made fun of, so presently she dragged herself up the mountain very slowly, because she had just had a rather heavy meal, and stood outside and said, "What are you laughing at?" in a voice that made Edmund feel as if he should never laugh again.

Who acts: dragon, everyone, mother, you, voice, Edmund · What happens: bear, not stand, make, drag up, have, stand · To what, where: end, mother, heavy meal, voice, Edmund · Speech: someone speaks here
