The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 3, sentence 29

And as the great round piece of earth flew away, going around and around as hard as it could, it met a long piece of hard rock that had got loose from another part of the puddingy mixture, and the rock was so hard, and was going so fast, that it ran its point through the round piece of earth and stuck out on the other side of it, so that the two together were like a very-very-much-too-big spinning top.

Who acts: great round piece, piece, hard rock, rock, two · What happens: fly away, go, meet, get, be, run · To what, where: long piece, part, point, round piece, other side, much big spinning top
