The Red Fairy Book, The Princess Mayblossom, part 2, sentence 70
Meanwhile the Princess Mayblossom, who was by this time terribly sleepy, had found a grassy bank in the shade, and throwing herself down had already fallen into a profound slumber, when Fanfaronade, who happened to be hungry and not sleepy, came and woke her up, saying, very crossly:
Who acts: Princess Mayblossom, throwing, Fanfaronade · What happens: be, find, throw down, fall, happen, not be · To what, where: grassy bank, shade, Princess, profound slumber · Speech: someone speaks here
