The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 4, sentence 51

‘It is just the rattle of the stones which are rolling down the side of the mountain,’ the hare said; and the Tanuki was content, and made no further remarks, never noticing that the noise really sprang from the burning boughs on his back, until his fur was in flames, and it was almost too late to put it out.

Who acts: crackling, stones, hare, Tanuki, noise, fur · What happens: be, roll down, say, make, not notice, spring · To what, where: rattle, side, further remarks, burning boughs, crackling · Speech: someone speaks here
