The Yellow Fairy Book, The Death of the Sun-hero (27), sentence 8
When the King and Queen had each related their dreams to the other, they were much amazed that they should both have dreamt exactly the same about their son, and the King said to his wife, ‘This is clearly a sign from heaven that we should send our son out into the world in order that he may come home the great Sun-Hero, as the Red Girl said, not only in name but in deed.’
Who acts: King, This, that, Red Girl, parents · What happens: have, dreamt, say, be, send out, come · To what, where: related dreams, parents, wife, sign, heaven, son · Speech: someone speaks here
