The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 22, sentence 88

At length, one morning early, a cock began to crow so loud that she could sleep no longer and as he continued to crow she seemed to understand what he was saying, and that he was telling her that Djulung was dead, killed and eaten by her sisters, and that his bones lay buried under the kitchen fire.

Who acts: cock, body, Djulung · What happens: begin, crow, sleep, continue, seem, understand · To what, where: length, body, kitchen fire · Speech: someone speaks here
