So he was led out to the sea, and a gold ring was thrown into it, before his eyes; then the king ordered him to fetch this ring up from the bottom of the sea, and added: ‘If you come up again without it you will be thrown in again and again until you perish amid the waves.’

Who acts: king, you · What happens: lead out, throw, order, fetch up, add, come up · To what, where: Many, sea, gold ring, ring, bottom, you
