The Green Fairy Book, The Biter Bit, part 4, sentence 86

‘Prince, I will certainly help you,’ said the toad, and, crawling back into her swamp, she returned dragging after her a piece of linen not bigger than a finger, which she lay before the Prince, saying, ‘Take this home, and you’ll see it will help you.’

Who acts: Prince, PUDDOCKY, finger, you, home · What happens: help, say, crawl back, return, drag, lie · To what, where: you, toad, swamp, piece, home · Speech: someone speaks here
