The Red Fairy Book, The Little Good Mouse, sentence 42

At last, one evening, as the Queen sat at her spinning-wheel—for the King was so avaricious that she was made to work day and night—she saw a tiny, pretty little mouse creep out of a hole, and said to it:

Who acts: Queen, King, tiny pretty little mouse · What happens: sit, be, make, work, see, creep out · To what, where: spinning wheel, Queen, hole, mouse · Speech: someone speaks here
