The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 1, sentence 107

But while they were running down from the King’s palace, Minnikin had got out of the ship and had put it in his pocket again; for the moment he got out of it, it once more became as small as it had been when he got it from the old woman, and those who came from the King’s palace could see nothing but a ragged little boy who was standing down by the sea-shore.

Who acts: persons, Minnikin, ship, those, ragged little boy · What happens: run down, get out, put, become, be, come · To what, where: palace, ship, pocket, nothing
