The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 44
On the second morning the giant had again to go out with his goats, so he told the Prince that on that day he was to fetch home his horse, which was out on the mountain-side, and when he had done that he might rest himself for the remainder of the day, “for you have come to a kind master, and that you shall find,” said the giant once more.
Who acts: giant, horse, you · What happens: go out, tell, be, do, rest, come · To what, where: Prince, mountain side, giant, kind master · Speech: someone speaks here
