The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch and Her Servants(22), part 2, sentence 69

As soon as the eagle saw itself free from its tormentors it plucked a feather from its wing, and, handing it to the Prince, said: ‘Here, my kind benefactor, take this feather as a proof of my gratitude; should you ever be in need of my help blow this feather into the air, and I will help you as much as is in my power.’

Who acts: eagle, you, I, my · What happens: see, pluck, hand, say, take, be · To what, where: eagle, feather, wing, Prince, need, air · Speech: someone speaks here
