Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Water of Life, sentence 9

But the little Man was angry and he wished an evil thing, so that, soon after, the Prince came into a narrow mountain-pass, and the farther he rode the narrower it grew, till at last it was so close that he could get no farther; but neither could he turn his horse round, nor dismount, and he sat there like one amazed.

Who acts: little Man, man, Prince, thing · What happens: be, wish, come, ride, grow, get · To what, where: evil thing, narrow mountain pass, last, horse
