Grimm's Fairy Stories, Snow-white and Rose-red, sentence 37
After this, every evening at the same time the bear came, lay by the fire, and allowed the children to play with him; so they became quite fond of their curious playmate, and the door was not ever bolted in the evening until he had appeared.
Who acts: bear, children, widow · What happens: come, lay, allow, play, become, not bolt · To what, where: same time, children, door
