The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 6, sentence 78

At first sight you would not have thought that he was different from a thousand other little boys; but then you noticed that by his side hung the scabbard of a sword, and as the boy grew bigger the scabbard grew bigger too.

Who acts: you, Boy, scabbard · What happens: not think, be, notice, hang, grow · To what, where: sight, scabbard · Speech: someone speaks here
