The Red Fairy Book, The Voice of Death, sentence 15

After he had settled down in his new home, and had got everything in order about him, he warned his wife and family that, unless they wanted to die, they must on no account listen to a voice which they might some day hear calling them.

Who acts: voice, that, people · What happens: settle down, get, warn, wife, want, die · To what, where: new home, everything, order, voice, people · Speech: someone speaks here
