Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 2, sentence 77
So they passed the time for a year, until there came a day when Guleesh was lying by himself, on the grass, on the last day of the last month in autumn, and he was thinking over again in his own mind of everything that happened to him from the day that he went with the sheehogues across the sea.
Who acts: king, Guleesh · What happens: pass, come, lie, think over, happen, go · To what, where: grass, own mind, Guleesh, sea, everything
