The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 11, sentence 103

But, in reality, he was carried down, half drowned, below the next bend in the river, where he fortunately came across a 'snag' floating in the water (a snag is, you know, a part of a tree or bush which floats very nearly under the surface of the water); and he held on to this snag, and by great good luck eventually came ashore some two or three miles down the river.

Who acts: enemy, snag, you, bush · What happens: be, drown, come, float, know, hold on · To what, where: reality, next bend, snag, water, surface, two miles
