The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 20, sentence 98

‘Go to the mountain, which you will find so thickly covered with stones that you will hardly be able to place your feet, and walk straight forward, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left, and paying no heed to the laughs and scoffs which will follow you, till you reach the top, and then you may take all that you desire.’

Who acts: you, stones, laughs · What happens: go, find, cover, be, walk, turn · To what, where: mountain, thickly, place, right hand, heed, you
