The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 7, sentence 74

And after they had reached the shore, and beheld the sea stretching before them, and the isle of Dhiurradh in the midst of it, the soul of Ian sank, and he turned to Gille Mairtean and asked why he had brought him thither, for the giant, when he had sent him, had known full well that without a boat he could never find the Big Women.

Who acts: fathers, sea, Ian · What happens: reach, behold, stretch, sink, turn, ask · To what, where: shore, sea, soul, Gille, full well · Speech: someone speaks here
