Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Water of Life, sentence 13

But the dwarf was enraged at his behaviour, and laid a fairy spell of ill-luck upon him; so that as he rode on the mountain pass became narrower and narrower, and at last the way was so straitened that he could not go to step forward: and when he thought to have turned his horse round and go back the way he came, he heard a loud laugh ringing round him, and found that the path was closed behind him, so that he was shut in all round.

Who acts: dwarf, loud laugh · What happens: enrage, lay, ride, become, straiten, not go · To what, where: dwarf, behaviour, fairy spell, mountain pass, last, horse · Speech: someone speaks here
