The Blue Fairy Book, The Terrible Head, sentence 43

You must creep up close to them, and as one of them passes the eye to the other you must seize it, and refuse to give it up till they have told you the way to the Three Fairies of the Garden, and _they_ will give you the Cap of Darkness and the Sword of Sharpness, and show you how to wing beyond this world to the land of the Terrible Head.”

Who acts: You, one, roads · What happens: creep up, pass, seize, refuse, not give up, tell · To what, where: eye, other, north, roads, you, Cap · Speech: someone speaks here
