The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter VI. The Cowardly Lion, sentence 16

Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking toward the Lion, and the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog, when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed, and heedless of danger, rushed forward and slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could, while she cried out:

Who acts: Toto, Little Toto, Dorothy, heedless · What happens: have, run, bark, open, bite, fear · To what, where: enemy, great beast, dog, Toto, Lion, nose · Speech: someone speaks here
