The Yellow Fairy Book, How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World, part 1, sentence 30

Then the runner got a pitcher, and the King’s daughter another, and they began to run at the same time; but in a moment, when the King’s daughter was only just a little way off, no spectator could see the runner, and it seemed as if the wind had whistled past.

Who acts: runner, servant, daughter, spectator, it · What happens: get, begin, run, be, see, seem · To what, where: pitcher, little way, runner, wind
