Grimm's Fairy Stories, Oh, If I Could But Shiver!, sentence 104

Just so," said he, "only better still"; whereupon the bed galloped away as if six horses pulled it up and down steps and stairs, until at last, all at once, it overset, bottom upward, and lay upon him like a mountain; but up he got, threw pillows and mattresses into the air, and saying, "Now he who wishes may travel," laid himself down by the fire and slept till day broke.

Who acts: cold, bed, six horses · What happens: say, gallop away, pull up, overset, bottom, lay · To what, where: bed, pillows, air, cold · Speech: someone speaks here
