The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 52

‘As many as this bag will hold,’ replied Peronnik, opening, as he spoke, the bag which he had filled with feathers and glue; and to prove what he said, he turned his back on the lion and began to imitate the song of a lark.

Who acts: bag, many, Peronnik, lark · What happens: hold, reply, open, speak, fill, prove · To what, where: Peronnik, bag, back, song · Speech: someone speaks here
