The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 5, sentence 9

Meanwhile the jogi’s two pupils watched and watched for the chest until they were nearly tired of watching, and were beginning to wonder whether the jogi was right after all, when on the second day they spied the great chest coming floating on the river, slowly bobbing and turning in the tide; and instantly a great joy and exultation seized them, for they thought that here indeed was further proof of the wonderful wisdom of their master.

Who acts: two pupils, pupils, jogi, great joy, joy · What happens: watch, be, begin, wonder, spy, come · To what, where: great chest, river, tide, pupils, further proof · Speech: someone speaks here
