The Violet Fairy Book, The Monkey and the Jelly-fish, sentence 22
In fact, so great was their relief that they gave the monkey such a kind welcome, and were so anxious to make him happy and comfortable, that he soon forgot all the fears that had beset him as to his fate, and was generally quite at his ease, though every now and then a fit of home-sickness would come over him, and he would hide himself in some dark corner till it had passed away.
Who acts: monkeys, turtle, fears, fit · What happens: be, give, make, forget, have, beset · To what, where: relief, fact, kind welcome, monkey, turtle, ease
