The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 68

At this point a cock crew, and the youth jumped up hastily saying: “Of course I shall ride with the king to the war, and if I do not return, take your violin every evening to the seashore and play on it, so that the very sea-kobolds who live at the bottom of the ocean may hear it and come to you.”

Who acts: youth, sea kobolds · What happens: jump up, say, ride, not return, take, live · To what, where: war, violin, seashore, bottom, youth, you · Speech: someone speaks here
