Grimm's Fairy Stories, Little Red Cap, sentence 19
And Little Red-Cap opened her eyes; and when she saw how the sunbeams glanced and danced through the trees, and what bright flowers were blooming in her path, she thought, "If I take my grandmother a fresh nosegay, she will be very much pleased; and it is so very early that I can, even then, get there in good time;" and running into the forest, she looked about for flowers.
Who acts: Little Red, cap, sunbeams, bright flowers, nosegay · What happens: open, see, glance, dance, bloom, think · To what, where: eyes, trees, path, grandmother, forest · Speech: someone speaks here
