The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 11, sentence 62

When the fish were all taken out, he fetched the net which he had laid out to dry, folded it up very small, and ran down to the river, hoping that he might find a place narrow enough for him to jump over; but he soon saw that it was too wide for even the best jumper in the world.

Who acts: Hare, fish · What happens: take out, fetch, lay out, dry, fold up, run down · To what, where: fish, net, place · Speech: someone speaks here
