The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 4, sentence 26
Fiordelisa clapped her hands and danced for joy when she saw this triumph of magic art, and as soon as it was evening, went to a shady garden-path down which she knew Turritella would pass, and then she made the mice galop, and the tiny people show off their tricks, and sure enough Turritella came, and the moment she saw it all cried:
Who acts: Fiordelisa, carriage, Turritella, mice, tiny people, moment · What happens: clap, dance, see, be, go down, know · To what, where: hands, triumph, tricks, moment · Speech: someone speaks here
