Celtic Fairy Tales, Jack and His Master, sentence 68

About noon, he went to see how Jack was doing his duty, and what did he find but Jack asleep with his face to the sod, Browney grazing near a thorn-tree, one end of a long rope round her horns, and the other end round the tree, and the rest of the beasts all trampling and eating the green wheat.

Who acts: Jack, Browney, rest · What happens: go, see, do, find, graze, trampling · To what, where: other end, duty, one end, thorn tree, green wheat · Speech: someone speaks here
