The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 2, sentence 22

But unfortunately the Dragon, who had only been asleep, woke up because it was Saturday, and he considered the Parliament, and afterwards there were not any Members left, so they tried to make a new Parliament, but being a member of Parliament had somehow grown as unpopular as soccer playing, and no one would consent to be elected, so they had to do without a Parliament.

Who acts: Dragon, most, any Members, Members, one · What happens: be, wake up, consider, try, make, grow · To what, where: Saturday, Parliament, new Parliament, member
