The Magician immediately waved his wand again; and, whilst he cried, in an imploring voice, "Give me my parrot!" the whole garden became suddenly alive: where rocks, and stones, and trees had been before, stood Rajas, and Punts, and Sirdars, and mighty men on prancing horses, and jewelled pages, and troops of armed attendants.
Who acts: Magician, Prince, whole garden, rocks, mighty men · What happens: wave, cry, implore, give, become, be · To what, where: wand, imploring voice, parrot, Magician, Rajas, pages · Speech: someone speaks here
