The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter XI. The Wonderful City of Oz, sentence 41

The Lion would have preferred a bed of dried leaves in the forest, and did not like being shut up in a room; but he had too much sense to let this worry him, so he sprang upon the bed and rolled himself up like a cat and purred himself asleep in a minute.

Who acts: Lion, this · What happens: prefer, dry, not like, shut up, have, let · To what, where: Lion, room, much sense, this, bed
