The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Pretty Goldilocks, sentence 157

Charming knew he could not be far from the Gloomy Cavern, and on looking about him he saw a black hideous rock from which came a thick smoke, followed in a moment by one of the dragons with fire blazing from his mouth and eyes.

Who acts: Charming, man, black hideous rock, fire · What happens: know, not be, look, see, come, follow · To what, where: Gloomy Cavern, black hideous rock, thick smoke, mouth · Speech: someone speaks here
