The Yellow Fairy Book, The Grateful Beasts(11), part 3, sentence 96

He found himself at once in a labyrinth, and wandered about for a long time without meeting anyone; in fact, the only sight he saw was a circle of human hands, sticking out of the ground above the wrist, each with a bracelet of gold, on which a name was written.

Who acts: gate, only sight, circle · What happens: find, wander, meet, see, be, stick out · To what, where: gate, labyrinth, anyone, only sight, circle, fact · Speech: someone speaks here
