Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Frog Prince, sentence 51

They had not proceeded far when the Prince heard a crack as if something had broken behind the carriage; so he put his head out of the window and asked trusty Henry what was broken, and faithful Henry answered, "It was not the carriage, my master, but an iron band which I bound around my heart when it was in such grief because you were changed into a frog."

Who acts: Prince, faithful Henry, head · What happens: not proceed, hear, break, put, ask, answer · To what, where: bride, crack, something, carriage, head, window · Speech: someone speaks here
