Celtic Fairy Tales, The Field of Boliauns, sentence 34

So they went, and Tom held the Lepracaun fast in his hand, and never took his eyes from off him, though they had to cross hedges and ditches, and a crooked bit of bog, till at last they came to a great field all full of boliauns, and the Lepracaun pointed to a big boliaun, and says he, "Dig under that boliaun, and you'll get the great crock all full of guineas."

Who acts: fields, Tom, Lepracaun, you · What happens: go, hold, not take, have, cross, come · To what, where: crooked bit, Lepracaun, hand, eyes, hedges, last · Speech: someone speaks here
