The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 66
When the King’s daughter came to the church the priest and people were all standing on the hillside waiting for her, and the Prince ran up and wanted to hold the horse, but she jumped off, saying:
Who acts: daughter, priest, hillside, Prince · What happens: come, stand, wait, run up, want, hold · To what, where: church, hillside, horse · Speech: someone speaks here
