The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 21, sentence 104

As soon as it was quite hot she shook in the medicine that she had brought from home, and then, taking the buffalo's head, she made incisions with her little knife behind the ear, and close to the temple where the shot had struck him.

Who acts: water, girl · What happens: be, shake, bring, take, make, strike · To what, where: medicine, home, head, incisions, shot
