Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Six Swans, sentence 66

Her heart leapt for joy as she perceived her deliverers approaching, and soon the Swans, flying towards her, alighted so near that she was enabled to throw over them the shirts, and as soon as she had done so, their feathers fell off and the brothers stood up alive and well; but the youngest was without his left arm, instead of which he had a swan's wing.

Who acts: heart leapt, Swans, sentence, feathers, brothers, youngest · What happens: perceive, approach, fly, alight, enable, throw · To what, where: deliverers, Swans, sentence, shirts, wing
