The Red Fairy Book, Soria Moria Castle, sentence 76

Then they dressed him so splendidly that he was like a King’s son; and they put a ring on his finger, and it was one which would enable him to go there and back again by wishing, but they told him that he must not throw it away, or name their names; for if he did, all his magnificence would be at an end, and then he would never see them more.

Who acts: heads, Halvor, ring, magnificence · What happens: dress, be, put, enable, go, wish · To what, where: Halvor, ring, finger, one, names, end · Speech: someone speaks here
