The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 44

First of all, you were out of temper because you could not have what you wanted, and you thought all men and animals were only made to do your pleasure; then you were really angry, which is very naughty indeed; and lastly, you were cruel to a poor little animal who did not in the least deserve to be ill-treated.

Who acts: you, men, poor little animal, least, your · What happens: be, not have, want, think, make, do · To what, where: temper, men, pleasure · Speech: someone speaks here
