Grimms' Fairy Tales, Lily and the Lion, sentence 45

Then the east wind and the west wind came, and said they too had not seen it, but the south wind said, ‘I have seen the white dove--he has fled to the Red Sea, and is changed once more into a lion, for the seven years are passed away, and there he is fighting with a dragon; and the dragon is an enchanted princess, who seeks to separate him from you.’

Who acts: east wind, tree, south wind, I, crack, dragon · What happens: come, say, not see, see, flee, change · To what, where: wind, white dove, Red Sea, seven years, enchanted princess, dragon · Speech: someone speaks here
