The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 25

Though Master Peter had no great wealth to leave behind him, still it was sad to him to be childless; and he would bemoan himself to his friends, when he laid one baby after another in the grave, saying: “The lightning has been among the cherry-blossoms again, so there will be no fruit to grow ripe.”

Who acts: Master, great wealth, wealth, lightning, saying · What happens: have, leave, be, bemoan, lay, say · To what, where: great wealth, Master, one baby, grave, fruit · Speech: someone speaks here
