The Violet Fairy Book, The Monkey and the Jelly-fish, sentence 25

At the sight of the gay and lively monkey crouching under a tall rock, with his eyes closed and his head bent, the jelly-fish was filled with pity, and stopped, saying, ‘Ah, poor fellow, no wonder you weep; a few days more, and they will come and kill you and give your liver to the queen to eat.’

Who acts: gay monkey, eyes, head, you, fishes · What happens: crouch, close, bend, fill, stop, say · To what, where: tall rock, jelly fish, sight, wonder, you, liver · Speech: someone speaks here
