The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 34, sentence 22

'I wish you would take me into your boat!' shouted the wolf, louder than before, and he continued to beseech the mink so long that at last he grew tired of it, and paddled to the shore close enough for the wolf to jump in.

Who acts: I, you, Wolf · What happens: wish, take, shout, continue, beseech, grow · To what, where: me, boat, wolf, mink, last, shore · Speech: someone speaks here
