The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch and Her Servants(22), part 1, sentence 62

Iwanich turned round, and saw a tall, gaunt-looking man, clad in miserable rags, leaning on a crooked staff and seated at the foot of an oak tree, which was so much the same colour as himself that it was little wonder the Prince had ridden past the tree without noticing him.

Who acts: Iwanich, oak tree, colour, Prince · What happens: turn round, see, look, clad, lean, seat · To what, where: tall looking man, miserable rags, crooked staff, foot, same colour, little wonder
