The Blue Fairy Book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, sentence 27

So one Sunday the White Bear came and said that they could now set out to see her father and mother, and they journeyed thither, she sitting on his back, and they went a long, long way, and it took a long, long time; but at last they came to a large white farmhouse, and her brothers and sisters were running about outside it, playing, and it was so pretty that it was a pleasure to look at it.

Who acts: one Sunday, others, cure, it, brothers, farmhouse · What happens: come, say, set out, see, journey, sit · To what, where: father, back, long long way, last, farmhouse, pleasure · Speech: someone speaks here
