The Red Fairy Book, The Twelve Brothers, sentence 98

These good people had a little window at the back of their house, which looked into the most lovely garden, full of all manner of beautiful flowers and vegetables; but the garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to enter it, for it belonged to a witch of great power, who was feared by the whole world.

Who acts: good people, house, high wall, one, window, whole world · What happens: have, look, surround, dare, enter, belong · To what, where: little window, back, garden, window, great power
