Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter II, sentence 3
We do not know what Fionn had done to Conaran, but it must have been bad enough, for the king of the Shi’ of Cesh Cotran was filled with joy at the sight of Fionn thus close to him, thus unprotected, thus unsuspicious.
Who acts: We, Fionn, champion · What happens: not know, do, be, fill, sight · To what, where: Conaran, king, sight, Fionn · Speech: someone speaks here
