The Yellow Fairy Book, The Steadfast Tin-soldier, sentence 27

When it was morning, and the children had got up, the Tin-soldier was put in the window; and whether it was the wind or the little black imp, I don’t know, but all at once the window flew open and out fell the little Tin-soldier, head over heels, from the third-storey window!

Who acts: imp, children, I, all · What happens: be, get up, put, not know, fly, fall · To what, where: morning, Tin soldier, window, wind, little Tin soldier, storey window
