The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 2, sentence 53

The Yellow Dwarf, deeply enraged at these words, set spurs to his cat, which yelled horribly, and leaped hither and thither--terrifying everybody except the brave King, who pursued the Dwarf closely, till he, drawing a great knife with which he was armed, challenged the King to meet him in single combat, and rushed down into the courtyard of the palace with a terrible clatter.

Who acts: cat, Yellow Dwarf, everybody, Dwarf · What happens: enrage, yell, leap, pursue, draw, be · To what, where: Yellow Dwarf, words, Dwarf, great knife, King, single combat
