The Yellow Fairy Book, The Grateful Beasts(11), part 2, sentence 97

He didn’t like the idea of going back to his hut in the wind and wet, so he just stepped as he was into the girl’s room, laid the sack of gold beside her, and was turning to leave the room, when his master confronted him and said, ‘You young rogue, so you were going to steal the gold that a good Fairy brings every night, were you?’

Who acts: BOY, idea, master, You, good Fairy · What happens: not like, go back, step, be, lay, turn · To what, where: idea, room, sack, BOY, gold, you · Speech: someone speaks here
