The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 69

I took my dog with me, but he could find no trace of them, though we searched among the bushes till night fell; and then, as I did not know the country and could not find my way home in the dark, I decided to sleep under a tree.

Who acts: I, dog, we, night · What happens: take, find, search, fall, not know, not find · To what, where: dog, trace, bushes, country, way, dark
