The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 22, sentence 85

Next morning she went as usual to the cave, and sang her little song, but no Djulung came to answer it; twice and thrice she sang, then threw herself on her knees by the edge, and peered into the dark water, but the trees cast such a deep shadow that her eyes could not pierce it.

Who acts: girl, Djulung, trees, eyes · What happens: go, sing, come, answer, throw, peer · To what, where: cave, little song, song, girl, knees, deep shadow
