The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 78

Nevertheless all was got ready for the wedding, and she was decked out as a bride, but as they were riding to church a little bird sat upon a tree and sang:

Who acts: shoes · What happens: get, deck out, ride, sit, sing · To what, where: all, stepmother, little bird, tree
