The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 20, sentence 98

In an instant he had fitted an arrow to his bow, and was taking aim at the bird, thinking what a good meal he would make off him, when his weapon fell to the ground at the sound of the pigeon’s voice:

Who acts: prince, good meal, weapon · What happens: fit, take, think, make off, fall · To what, where: arrow, instant, aim, prince, sound · Speech: someone speaks here
