The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 52

At first the brothers were grateful for their liberty, but when they saw the youngest brother’s treasures they became jealous of his good fortune, and planned how to bring him to destruction, and then take the bird Grip, the princess, and the horse with the golden shoes, and convey them to their blind father.

Who acts: brothers, horse, youngest brother · What happens: be, see, become, plan, bring, take · To what, where: treasures, prince, destruction, bird Grip, brothers, blind father
