The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 3, sentence 24

Now that you have read as far as this you know, of course, that the Kingdom of Rotundia was a very remarkable place; and if you are a thoughtful child--as of course you are--you will not need me to tell you what was the most remarkable thing about it.

Who acts: you, Kingdom, me · What happens: read, know, be, not need, tell · To what, where: remarkable place, thoughtful child, me, you, remarkable thing · Speech: someone speaks here
