The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch in the Stone Boat(31), sentence 202

Every morning when the sun was rising, and every evening when it was setting, she would steal out of the house-door, and when the breeze parted the ears of corn so that she could see the blue sky through them, she thought how bright and beautiful it must be outside, and longed to see her dear swallow again.

Who acts: sun, dowry, breeze · What happens: rise, set, steal, part, see, think · To what, where: house door, ears, blue sky, dear swallow
