Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Ugly Duckling, sentence 56

He is too big," they all said, and the turkey cock, who had been born into the world with spurs, and fancied himself really an emperor, puffed himself out like a vessel in full sail, and flew at the duckling, and became quite red in the head with passion, so that the poor little thing did not know where to go, and was quite miserable because he was so ugly and laughed at by the whole farmyard.

Who acts: child, ducklings, poor little thing · What happens: be, say, bear, fancy, puff out, fly · To what, where: turkey cock, world, child, duckling, whole farmyard · Speech: someone speaks here
