The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 103
Neither must you go through the door to the left, it leads to the snake’s chamber, where adders and serpents lodge; but open the fast-closed door by means of the well-known spring-root, which you must on no account forget to take with you, or all your trouble will be for naught, for no crowbar or mortal tools will help you.
Who acts: Neither, left, adders, you, trouble, naught · What happens: go, lead, lodge, open, close, mean · To what, where: door, closed door, known spring root, account, you
