The Blue Fairy Book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, sentence 88
“No,” said the West Wind; “so far as that have I never blown; but if you like I will go with you to the South Wind, for he is much stronger than either of us, and he has roamed far and wide, and perhaps he can tell you what you want to know.
Who acts: West Wind, you, Wind · What happens: say, not blow, like, go, be, roam · To what, where: that, South Wind, you · Speech: someone speaks here
