The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 30, sentence 103

He tended the flock so diligently, and knew so well where to lead the sheep to the sweetest pastures, and where among the hills to look for any who strayed away, that they too prospered under his care, and not one was lost or torn by wolves; but this new master was a hard man, and begrudged him his well-earned wages.

Who acts: householder, sheep, new master · What happens: tend, know, lead, look, stray away, prosper · To what, where: flock, sheep, sweetest pastures, care, one, hard man · Speech: someone speaks here
