The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter III. How Dorothy Saved the Scarecrow, sentence 25

The sun shone bright and the birds sang sweetly, and Dorothy did not feel nearly so bad as you might think a little girl would who had been suddenly whisked away from her own country and set down in the midst of a strange land.

Who acts: sun, birds, Dorothy, you · What happens: shine, sing, not feel, think, whisk away, set down · To what, where: little girl, own country, midst · Speech: someone speaks here
