Grimms' Fairy Tales, Snow-white and Rose-red, sentence 41

Snow-white was quite sorry at his departure, and as she unbolted the door for him, and the bear was hurrying out, he caught against the bolt and a piece of his hairy coat was torn off, and it seemed to Snow-white as if she had seen gold shining through it, but she was not sure about it.

Who acts: Snow white, sun, bear, it, gold, white · What happens: be, unbolt, hurry out, catch, tear off, seem · To what, where: departure, door, piece, gold
