The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 5, sentence 169
The whole day the Snow-man looked through the window; towards dusk the room grew still more inviting; the stove gave out a mild light, not at all like the moon or even the sun; no, as only a stove can shine, when it has something to feed upon.
Who acts: Snow man, room, stove · What happens: look, grow, invite, give out, shine, have · To what, where: mild light, all, something
