The Blue Fairy Book, Beauty and the Beast, part 2, sentence 98
This morning she decided to amuse herself in the garden, for the sun shone, and all the fountains were playing; but she was astonished to find that every place was familiar to her, and presently she came to the brook where the myrtle trees were growing where she had first met the Prince in her dream, and that made her think more than ever that he must be kept a prisoner by the Beast.
Who acts: charming, sun, fountains, place, myrtle trees, that · What happens: decide, amuse, shine, play, be, find · To what, where: charming, garden, brook, Prince, dream, more · Speech: someone speaks here
