The Violet Fairy Book, Two in a Sack, sentence 20

‘Oh, make the best of it,’ said she, but the man only said: ‘Clear away!’ and taking out his sack he cried, as the crane had taught him:

Who acts: you, wife, man · What happens: make, say, take out, cry, teach · To what, where: best, sack, crane, man · Speech: someone speaks here
