The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 2, sentence 33

Do not think that you can deceive me; you fancy you are going to escape, but I assure you that you are going to stay here and the first thing I shall give you to do will be to keep my sheep--they are very good company and speak quite as well as you do.

Who acts: you, I, first thing, Sheep · What happens: not think, deceive, fancy, go, escape, assure · To what, where: me, you, first thing, good company · Speech: someone speaks here
