English Fairy Tales, Jack and His Golden Snuff-box, sentence 21

“Well,” says the gentleman to him, “if you can do anything, at eight o'clock in the morning I must have a great lake and some of-the largest man-of-war vessels sailing before my mansion, and one of the largest vessels must fire a royal salute, and the last round must break the leg of the bed where my young daughter is sleeping.

Who acts: gentleman, you, war vessels, one fire, last round, young daughter · What happens: say, do, have, sail, salute, break · To what, where: anything, great lake, leg · Speech: someone speaks here
