Grimms' Fairy Tales, The King of the Golden Mountain, sentence 12

Then the father started, trembling with fear and horror, and saw what it was that he had bound himself to do; but as no gold was come, he made himself easy by thinking that it was only a joke that the dwarf was playing him, and that, at any rate, when the money came, he should see the bearer, and would not take it in.

Who acts: father, gold, dwarf, money · What happens: start, tremble, see, bind, do, be · To what, where: father, joke, bearer · Speech: someone speaks here
