The Violet Fairy Book, The Finest Liar in the World, sentence 8

But suddenly the boy remembered what his father had told him, and bade farewell to the man, and went further down the river, till he came to another mill, not knowing that as soon as his back was turned the beardless man had picked up a bag of corn and run hastily to the same mill before him.

Who acts: boy, father, beardless man · What happens: remember, tell, go, come, not know, turn · To what, where: bade, boy, river, mill, that, back · Speech: someone speaks here
