The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 35
He could neither sleep nor rest; but as soon as it was light he got up and wrote down exactly all that was to be done to find the treasure, that he might not forget anything, and when it lay clear and plain before his eyes he comforted himself with the thought that, though he must do the rough work for his wife during one more winter at least, he would not have to tread the path to the mill for the rest of his life.
Who acts: plan, Peter · What happens: be, get up, write down, do, find, not forget · To what, where: light, that, treasure, anything, eyes, Peter
