The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 18, sentence 61

After a little while, however, the jackal became discontented with this arrangement, declaring that none of his friends, who were quite different from those of the hyena, could see the splendour of the mantle, and that it was only fair that he should sometimes be allowed to wear it by day.

Who acts: none, splendour, hyena · What happens: discontent, declare, be, see, allow, wear · To what, where: jackal, those, splendour, hyena
