The Red Fairy Book, Soria Moria Castle, sentence 166

‘Well, now I have no time to stay with you any longer,’ said the West Wind, ‘for I must first go and tear down a bit of spruce fir before I go to the bleaching-ground to dry the clothes; but just go along the side of the hill, and you will come to some girls who are standing there washing clothes, and then you will not have to walk far before you are at Soria Moria Castle.’

Who acts: I, West Wind, you, girls · What happens: have, stay, say, go, tear down, dry · To what, where: bit, bleaching ground, clothes, side · Speech: someone speaks here
