The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 2, sentence 27

The Blue Bird that had come out of the book used to sing very nicely in the Palace rose garden, and the Butterfly was very tame, and would perch on his shoulder when he walked among the tall lilies: so Lionel saw that all the creatures in _The Book of Beasts_ could not be wicked, like the Dragon, and he thought: "Suppose I could get another beast out who would fight the Dragon?"

Who acts: Blue Bird, Butterfly, Bird, Lionel, creatures · What happens: come out, use, sing, rise, be, perch · To what, where: book, Palace, garden, shoulder, tall lilies, beast · Speech: someone speaks here
