Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Frog Prince, sentence 2

Near the castle of this King was a large and gloomy forest, where in the midst stood an old lime-tree, beneath whose branches splashed a little fountain; so, whenever it was very hot, the King's youngest daughter ran off into this wood, and sat down by the side of the fountain; and, when she felt dull, would often divert herself by throwing a golden ball up into the air and catching it again.

Who acts: branches, fountain, youngest daughter, she · What happens: be, stand, splash, run off, sit down, feel · To what, where: large forest, castle, old lime tree, midst, little fountain, wood
