The Red Fairy Book, Graciosa and Percinet, part 3, sentence 49

So they all began to push and pull at it, and Graciosa among the others, which was just what the Queen wanted; for as soon as the stone was lifted high enough, she gave the Princess a push which sent her down to the bottom of the well, and then the stone was let fall again, and there she was a prisoner.

Who acts: passers, Queen, push, stone, Princess · What happens: begin, push, pull, be, want, lift · To what, where: Graciosa, others, stone, push, Princess, bottom
