Grimms' Fairy Tales, Jorinda and Jorindel, sentence 50

Then he touched all the other birds with the flower, so that they all took their old forms again; and he took Jorinda home, where they were married, and lived happily together many years: and so did a good many other lads, whose maidens had been forced to sing in the old fairy’s cages by themselves, much longer than they liked.

Who acts: spell, arms, maidens · What happens: touch, take, marry, live, do, force · To what, where: other birds, old forms, Jorinda, arms, good many other lads, maidens
