And as she did so he cried to the spirits to give him back his usual size and strength and to make the water scalding hot Then he gave the kettle a kick, which upset all the boiling water upon her, and jumping over her body he seized once more the gold and the bridge, picked up his club and bow and arrows, and after setting fire to the Bad One’s hut, ran down to the river, which he crossed safely by the help of the bridge.

Who acts: master, boy, water, kick · What happens: do, cry, give back, make, scald, give · To what, where: spirits, usual size, boy, water, kettle, boiling water
