The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 3, sentence 98
However, by this time they had reached the village where dwelt Gudu's future wife, and as they entered Gudu pointed to a clump of bushes, and said to Isuro: 'Whenever I am eating, and you hear me call out that my food has burnt me, run as fast as you can and gather some of those leaves that they may heal my mouth.'
Who acts: eyes, Gudu, I, you, me · What happens: reach, dwell, enter, point, say, eat · To what, where: village, future wife, clump, Isuro, me, food · Speech: someone speaks here
