The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 12, sentence 6

Encouraged by the goldsmith they nearly all ran off the very next morning to the river; and, in order that they might get down quickly to the beautiful place the goldsmith told them of, they tied great stones on to their feet and their necks, and one after another they jumped into the water as fast as the could, and were drowned.

Who acts: people, order, one · What happens: encourage, run off, get down, tell, tie, jump · To what, where: goldsmith, river, order, people, great stones, water · Speech: someone speaks here
