The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch in the Stone Boat(31), sentence 109

Thumbelina pleased him, and she, too, was delighted, for now the toads could not reach her, and it was so beautiful where she was travelling; the sun shone on the water and made it sparkle like the brightest silver.

Who acts: leaf, toads, land · What happens: be, not reach, travel, shine, make, sparkle · To what, where: leaf, sun, water, land
