Grimm's Fairy Stories, Snow-white and Rose-red, sentence 74

The dwarf had been sitting angling from the side of the stream when, by ill-luck, the wind had entangled his beard in his line, and just afterwards a big fish taking the bait, the unamiable little fellow had not sufficient strength to pull it out; so the fish had the advantage, and was dragging the dwarf after it.

Who acts: dwarf, big fish, unamiable little fellow, fish · What happens: sit, angle, entangle, take, have, pull out · To what, where: side, wind, line, bait, sufficient strength, strength
