The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 2, sentence 104

Then Minnikin himself took hold of the cable, and laid one or two links of it into the ship, and as he threw the links into it the ship grew bigger and bigger, and at last it was so large that the cable, and the five hundred men, and provisions, and Minnikin himself, had room enough.

Who acts: Minnikin, ship · What happens: take, lay, throw, grow, be, have · To what, where: hold, one links, ship, links, last, room
