The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 4, sentence 79

'Oh, that is easily done,' said the eldest brother, jumping into the basket, which at once began to move--up, and up, and up--till he had gone about half-way, when a fat black raven flew at him and pecked him till he was nearly blind, so that he was forced to go back the way he had come.

Who acts: eldest brother, overlooker, fat black raven · What happens: do, say, jump, begin, move up, go about · To what, where: that, basket, half way, overlooker, way · Speech: someone speaks here
