The Blue Fairy Book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, sentence 112

But they were not very, very far from land, and there was just enough strength left in the North Wind to enable him to throw her on to the shore, immediately under the windows of a castle which lay east of the sun and west of the moon; but then he was so weary and worn out that he was forced to rest for several days before he could go to his own home again.

Who acts: waves, strength, castle · What happens: not be, leave, enable, throw on, lie, be · To what, where: land, enough strength, North Wind, strength, sea, windows
