The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 9, sentence 93

Instead of going on his work, the man turned back and took the bird to his children, who gave him a warm mess to eat and put him in a box by the fire, and when they came back from school he was much more comfortable than he had been since he had left the old woman's cottage.

Who acts: man, children, bones, fortune · What happens: go on, turn back, take, give, eat, put · To what, where: work, bird, children, warm mess, fortune, box
