The Green Fairy Book, Prince Vivien and the Princess Placida, part 2, sentence 32
As he fell the lion whistled loudly three times with such force that the forest rang again, and the sound must have been heard for more than two leagues round, after which having apparently nothing more to do in the world he rolled over on his side and died.
Who acts: Prince, lion, forest · What happens: fall, whistle, ring, hear, have, do · To what, where: such force, sound, nothing, world, side
