Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Water of Life, sentence 30

The water you seek springs from a well in an enchanted castle; and, that you may be able to reach it in safety, I will give you an iron wand and two little loaves of bread; strike the iron door of the castle three times with the wand, and it will open: two hungry lions will be lying down inside gaping for their prey, but if you throw them the bread they will let you pass; then hasten on to the well, and take some of the Water of Life before the clock strikes twelve; for if you tarry longer the door will shut upon you for ever.’

Who acts: you, I, castle, two hungry lions, lions, clock · What happens: seek, enchant, be, reach, give, strike · To what, where: water, well, castle, safety, iron wand, you
