The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 34, sentence 129

The nyamatsanes paid no attention to her, and began to open all the cupboards, and peep under all the beds, crying out all the while, ‘A man is here! a man is here!’ but they could find nobody, and at length, tired out with their long day’s hunting, they curled themselves up and fell asleep.

Who acts: nyamatsanes, man, long day · What happens: pay, begin, open, peep, cry out, be · To what, where: attention, grandmother, cupboards, nobody, man, length
