The Red Fairy Book, The Three Princesses of Whiteland, sentence 72

‘Not far from here on a moor stand three brothers, who have stood there a hundred years fighting for a hat, a cloak, and a pair of boots; if any one has these three things he can make himself invisible, and if he desires to go to any place, he has but to wish and he is there.

Who acts: you, three brothers, hundred years, one, thing · What happens: stand, fight, have, make, desire, go · To what, where: three brothers, moor, three things, thing, place
