The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 31, sentence 12

The red rocks had become white marble and alabaster; the stream that murmured and struggled before in its rocky bed, flowed in silence now in its smooth channel, from which a clear fountain leapt, to fall again in showers of diamond drops, now on this side now on that, as the wandering breeze scattered it.

Who acts: red rocks, stream, wandering breeze · What happens: become, murmur, struggle, flow, leapt, fall · To what, where: white marble, rocky bed, silence, showers, stream
