The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 95

By this time he did not mind what befell him, so sure was he that the deer would take care of him, and in the evening that which had happened before happened again--the four robbers were put to death and the fisher’s son also, but because there was no food left for them to eat, they were nearly mad with rage, and began to quarrel.

Who acts: wax, deer, evening, food · What happens: not mind, befall, be, take, happen, put · To what, where: wax, care, four robbers, food
