The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 1, sentence 105

The three following days exactly the same thing happened, only each time with a different one of the party; and on the fourth day Makoma stayed in camp when the others went to cut poles, saying that he would see for himself what sort of man this was that lived in the river and whose moustaches were so long that they extended beyond men's sight.

Who acts: three following days, Makoma, others, that, moustaches, men · What happens: follow, happen, stay, go, cut, say · To what, where: camp, poles, sort, river, sight, man · Speech: someone speaks here
