The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 12

It seemed to me that I heard sounds of bellowing, and I thought I recognised the voice of the golden horned ox; but when I got to the place from which the sounds had come, I could neither see nor hear anything in the hole itself, though there were traces of a fire all round it.”

Who acts: It, I, sounds · What happens: seem, hear, bellow, think, recognise, get · To what, where: me, sounds, voice, place, anything, hole · Speech: someone speaks here
