The Yellow Fairy Book, The White Duck, sentence 8

You should not mope all day in your rooms, but should come out into the green garden, and hear the birds sing with joy among the trees, and see the butterflies fluttering above the flowers, and hear the bees and insects hum, and watch the sunbeams chase the dew-drops through the rose-leaves and in the lily-cups.

Who acts: You, birds, butterflies, bees, sunbeams · What happens: not mope, come out, hear, sing, see, flutter · To what, where: rooms, green garden, butterflies, flowers, dew drops, rose leaves · Speech: someone speaks here
