The Red Fairy Book, The Little Good Mouse, sentence 108

But when he was quite high up, the Fairy, who had made herself invisible and followed them, gave him a sudden push, which made him lose his footing and fall to the ground with a crash and break four of his teeth, and while he was trying to mend them the fairy carried the Queen off in her flying chariot to a beautiful castle, where she was so kind to her that but for the loss of Delicia the Queen would have been perfectly happy.

Who acts: enemy, Fairy, sudden push, Queen · What happens: be, make, follow, give, lose, break · To what, where: fairy, words, sudden push, enemy, footing, four
