The Violet Fairy Book, The Two Frogs, sentence 7

It was delightful to find that they both felt the same wish--to learn a little more of their native country--and as there was no sort of hurry they stretched themselves out in a cool, damp place, and agreed that they would have a good rest before they parted to go their ways.

Who acts: It, frogs, sort · What happens: be, find, feel, learn, agree, have · To what, where: same wish, more, cool damp place, good rest, ways, hurry · Speech: someone speaks here
