Just so stories, How the Camel Got His Hump, sentence 11

At the end of the day the Man called the Horse and the Dog and the Ox together, and said, ‘Three, O Three, I’m very sorry for you (with the world so new-and-all); but that Humph-thing in the Desert can’t work, or he would have been here by now, so I am going to leave him alone, and you must work double-time to make up for it.’

Who acts: Man, I, Humph thing, you · What happens: call, say, be, not work, go, leave · To what, where: Horse, Man · Speech: someone speaks here
