The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 12, sentence 14

Truly, he got the better of a set of wicked and greedy people, but only by being wicked and greedy himself; and, as it turned out, when he got so rich he got very fat; and at last was so fat that he couldn't move, and one day he got the apoplexy and died, and no one in the world cared the least bit.

Who acts: man, set, one · What happens: get, be, turn out, not move, die, care · To what, where: last, apoplexy, least bit
