The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 5, sentence 37

‘Thank you, thank you,’ said the shark, showing all his great ugly teeth as he grinned with delight; ‘you can’t guess how happy you have made me,’ and he swam away into the shadow, hoping to sleep away the time till the monkey came again.

Who acts: first, you, monkey · What happens: thank, say, show, grin, not guess, make · To what, where: you, shark, great ugly teeth, me, shadow · Speech: someone speaks here
