It had pillows of silk, and curtains of silk fringed with gold, and everything that was in the room was of gold or silver, but when she had lain down and put out the light a man came and lay down beside her, and behold it was the White Bear, who cast off the form of a beast during the night.

Who acts: bed, curtains, man, White Bear · What happens: have, fringe, be, lie down, put out, come · To what, where: pillows, room, door, light, White Bear, form
