The Yellow Fairy Book, The Blue Mountains, sentence 6

As soon, then, as he got down out of the tree he set off towards the castle, without so much as telling his companions that he had seen it at all; perhaps the hunger and want they had suffered had changed their nature so much that the one did not care what became of the other if he could save himself.

Who acts: Irishman, hunger, companions, one · What happens: get down, set off, tell, see, want, suffer · To what, where: tree, companions, castle, all, nature, Irishman · Speech: someone speaks here
