The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 100

“Now you shall kill him, and boil him in the great big cauldron you know of, and when you have got the broth ready give me a call,” said the giant; then he lay down on the bench to sleep, and almost immediately began to snore so that it sounded like thunder among the hills.

Who acts: you, giant, call · What happens: kill, boil, know, get, give, say · To what, where: giant, great big cauldron, broth, call, me, bench · Speech: someone speaks here
