Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, sentence 2

They slept in twelve beds all in one room; and when they went to bed, the doors were shut and locked up; but every morning their shoes were found to be quite worn through as if they had been danced in all night; and yet nobody could find out how it happened, or where they had been.

Who acts: daughters, doors, nobody, it · What happens: sleep, go, be, lock up, find, wear · To what, where: twelve beds, bed, morning, daughters · Speech: someone speaks here
