Grimms' Fairy Tales, Lily and the Lion, sentence 47

Go to the Red Sea; on the right shore stand many rods--count them, and when thou comest to the eleventh, break it off, and smite the dragon with it; and so the lion will have the victory, and both of them will appear to you in their own forms.

Who acts: you, thou, lion, both, rods · What happens: go, stand, count, come, break off, smite · To what, where: Red Sea, many rods, right shore, rods, eleventh, Sea
