The Red Fairy Book, The Enchanted Pig, sentence 142

‘In the morning when he stands at the gates of paradise he is happy, and smiles on the whole world, but during the day he gets cross, because he sees all the evil deeds of men, and that is why his heat becomes so scorching; but in the evening he is both sad and angry, for he stands at the gates of death; that is his usual course.

Who acts: Sun, that, heat · What happens: stand, be, smile, get, see, become · To what, where: gates, paradise, whole world, evil deeds, usual course
