The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 25, sentence 10

'Look what I have caught,' she said gaily; 'but it is almost a pity to eat it, for it can talk, and it declares that, if I kill it, it will turn me into a fish too.'

Who acts: you, girl, fish, I · What happens: look, catch, say, be, eat, talk · To what, where: I, pity, fish, that, me · Speech: someone speaks here
