The Yellow Fairy Book, The Dragon of the North(2), sentence 171

But everyone forgot amid the general joy that they ought to have buried the Dragon’s monstrous body, for it began now to have such a bad smell that no one could live in the neighbourhood, and before long the whole air was poisoned, and a pestilence broke out which destroyed many hundreds of people.

Who acts: everyone, body, one, pestilence · What happens: forget, bury, begin, have, live, long · To what, where: amid, monstrous body, bad smell, neighbourhood, whole air, many hundreds
