Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Frog Prince, sentence 52
Twice afterwards on the journey there was the same noise, and each time the Prince thought that it was some part of the carriage that had given way; but it was only the breaking of the bands which bound the heart of the trusty Henry (who was also the faithful Henry), and who was thenceforward free and happy.
Who acts: Prince, noise, bands, trusty Henry, breaking · What happens: think, be, give, bound · To what, where: part, carriage, breaking, heart, faithful Henry · Speech: someone speaks here
