The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 3, sentence 33

And at once the sea-weeds became like the King, who stood looking at them in great astonishment, for they were even dressed in a coat like his, but they lay there pale and still as the King himself might have lain if one of the great waves had overtaken him and thrown him senseless upon the shore.

Who acts: sea weeds, King, Dwarf · What happens: become, stand, look, dress, lie, overtake · To what, where: great astonishment, Dwarf, coat, weed, one, shore
