The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 25, sentence 98

Before she had even reached the tree she felt herself borne up on strong wings ready to carry her to the clouds if she wished to go there, and seeming a mere speck in the sky, she was swept along till she beheld the Arch of St. Martin far below, with the rays of the sun shining on it.

Who acts: Eagle, rays · What happens: reach, feel, bear up, carry, wish, go · To what, where: tree, Eagle, strong wings, clouds, mere speck, sky
