The Red Fairy Book, The Master Thief, sentence 83

And when he had got very near home, and was in sight of the house where his father lived, he put on a uniform which he had found among the things he had taken from the robbers, and which was made just like a general’s, and drove into the yard just as if he were a great man.

Who acts: man, father · What happens: get, be, live, put, find, take · To what, where: home, sight, uniform, things, robbers, great man
