The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 37, sentence 61

If she was too lazy to walk all the way to market along a dirty road, she would say out loud the night before, ‘Why am I not already back from Morlaix with my milk pot empty, my butter bowl inside it, a pound of wild cherries on my wooden plate, and the money I have gained in my apron pocket?’ and in the morning when she got up, lo and behold! there were standing at the foot of her bed the empty milk pot with the butter bowl inside, the black cherries on the wooden plate, and six new pieces of silver in the pocket of her apron.

Who acts: Barbaik, I · What happens: walk, say, not be, gain, get up, be · To what, where: way, Morlaix, money, empty milk pot, foot · Speech: someone speaks here
