The Red Fairy Book, The Three Princesses of Whiteland, sentence 30

The next night everything happened in the same way, but the Troll who came then had six heads and six rods, and he beat him much more severely than the first had done but when the lad went out of doors next morning, the Princesses were out of the earth as far as their knees.

Who acts: next night, Troll, flask, first, lad, Princesses · What happens: happen, come, have, beat, do, go out · To what, where: same way, six heads, sword, doors, earth
