Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Travelling Companion, part 1, sentence 94

However, it was not very agreeable to lie there with a broken leg, so she gave them to him; and such was the power of the ointment, that no sooner had he rubbed her leg with it than the old mother rose up and walked even better than she had done before.

Who acts: it, woman, leg, old mother · What happens: not be, lie, break, give, be, have · To what, where: stems, such power, leg
