The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 23, sentence 29

The way to the city where the prince lived ran for the most part through a thick forest, and every night when there was no moon, and not a single star could be seen through the trees, the guards who travelled with the princess opened the carriage to give it an airing.

Who acts: prince, way, night, guards, trees · What happens: live, run, be, see, travel, open · To what, where: thick forest, moon, single star, carriage
