The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 38, sentence 70

From Sol, who can stand all day upon one foot; from Ossol, who, if he were to find himself on the top of the highest mountain in the world, could make it into a level plain in the beat of a bird’s wing; from Cluse, who, though he were buried under the earth, could yet hear the ant leave her nest fifty miles away: from these and from Kai and from Bedwyr and from all thy mighty men I crave this boon.’

Who acts: Ossol, ant, I · What happens: stand, find, make, bury, hear, leave · To what, where: Sol, Ossol, top, world, level plain, Cluse
