The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 23, sentence 70

He knew a great many short cuts across the hills, so it was not long before he came up with them, and all four travelled night and day till they reached the castle of the Sister of the Sun. What joy and feasting there was throughout the palace at the sight of the princess whom they had mourned as dead! and they could not make enough of the boy who had gone through such dangers in order to rescue her.

Who acts: giant, bow, four, cuts, Sun., joy · What happens: know, not be, come up, travel, reach, be · To what, where: great many short cuts, hills, castle, sight, princess, enough
