The Blue Fairy Book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, sentence 50
So when she had reached home and had gone to bed it was just the same as it had been before, and a man came and lay down beside her, and late at night, when she could hear that he was sleeping, she got up and kindled a light, lit her candle, let her light shine on him, and saw him, and he was the handsomest prince that eyes had ever beheld, and she loved him so much that it seemed to her that she must die if she did not kiss him that very moment.
Who acts: mother, bed, man, it · What happens: reach, go, be, come, lay down, hear · To what, where: bed, light, candle, mother, shine, man
