The Blue Fairy Book, The Wonderful Sheep, part 1, sentence 68

And then she began to think where she could go for safety--for this forest was so close to her father’s castle that she might be seen and recognized by the first passer-by, and, besides that, it was full of lions and wolves, who would have snapped up a princess just as soon as a stray chicken.

Who acts: Miranda, forest, that · What happens: begin, think, go, be, see, recognize · To what, where: Miranda, lions · Speech: someone speaks here
