The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch (28), sentence 10

So the children left the house together; and the little sister, who was very wise for her years, said to the brother:

Who acts: children, little sister · What happens: leave, be, say · To what, where: house, brother · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Yellow Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Witch (28).
