The Brown Fairy Book, Story of Wali Dâd the Simple-Hearted, part 2, sentence 84

“I am sure you must be; but it will be all right to-morrow,” said the fox, trotting off, not knowing that the oranges dropped down the hollow trunk, straight into the tortoise’s hole, and that he had as many as he could possibly eat.

Who acts: fox, you, fruit, oranges · What happens: be, say, trot off, not know, drop down, have · To what, where: hole, hollow trunk, many · Speech: someone speaks here
