Grimms' Fairy Tales, The King of the Golden Mountain, sentence 32
So, to make a sort of drawn battle of the matter, it was settled that Heinel should be put into an open boat, that lay on the sea-shore hard by; that the father should push him off with his own hand, and that he should thus be set adrift, and left to the bad or good luck of wind and weather.
Who acts: that, father · What happens: make, draw, settle, put, lie, push off · To what, where: sort, Heinel, open boat, sea shore, bad luck, drawn battle
