The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 1, sentence 62

‘That may be,’ said the Bull, and rushed at the Troll, and gored out his eyes, and drove his horns right through him so that his entrails gushed out, but the Troll fought just as well as he did, and it was three whole days before the Bull got the life out of him.

Who acts: entrails, Troll, horn, three whole days · What happens: be, say, rush, gore out, drive, gush out · To what, where: Bull, Troll, eyes, horns, three whole days, life · Speech: someone speaks here
