The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Pretty Goldilocks, sentence 130

When Galifron heard these words he looked all about him, and saw Charming standing, sword in hand this put the giant into a terrible rage, and he aimed a blow at Charming with his huge iron club, which would certainly have killed him if it had reached him, but at that instant a raven perched upon the giant’s head, and, pecking with its strong beak and beating with its great wings so confused and blinded him that all his blows fell harmlessly upon the air, and Charming, rushing in, gave him several strokes with his sharp sword so that he fell to the ground.

Who acts: Galifron, this, Pray, blows, Charming · What happens: hear, look, see, put, aim, kill · To what, where: words, Charming standing, giant, hand, blow, Charming · Speech: someone speaks here
