Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Water of Life, sentence 41

When he found himself safe, he was overjoyed to think that he had got the Water of Life; and as he was going on his way homewards, he passed by the little dwarf, who, when he saw the sword and the loaf, said, ‘You have made a noble prize; with the sword you can at a blow slay whole armies, and the bread will never fail you.’

Who acts: door, little dwarf, You, bread · What happens: find, overjoy, think, get, go, pass · To what, where: door, Water, way homewards, sword, noble prize, whole armies · Speech: someone speaks here
