The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 3, sentence 1
‘Now go over fresh water and salt water, over hill and dale, and do not stop until thou comest to where the King’s daughter is,’ said Minnikin to the ship, and off it went in a moment over land and water till the wind whistled and moaned all round about it.
Who acts: thou, Minnikin, ship, wind · What happens: go over, not stop, come, be, say, go · To what, where: fresh water, hill, land · Speech: someone speaks here
