More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 2, sentence 43

But she did not care to sit up late, when the fire burnt low, and no one knew what might be about; so, when they had had their supper she would make up a good fire and go off to bed, so that if anything terrible _did_ happen, she could always hide her head under the bed-clothes.

Who acts: house, fire, one, lights · What happens: not care, sit up, burnt, know, be, have · To what, where: supper, good fire, head, bed clothes
