The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 31, sentence 42

The little girl came out on the moor and began to pull heather on the side of a little mound, but next minute a little fellow with a red cap on his head popped up out of the mound and said:

Who acts: little girl, little fellow · What happens: come out, begin, pull, pop up, say · To what, where: moor, heather, side, mound · Speech: someone speaks here
