The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 31, sentence 90

What he had expected happened--the king received his sister and wedded her at once, but repented it after the first night, as he could scarcely put down his foot in the morning for all the toads that were about the room, and when he saw her real face he was so enraged against the brother that he had him thrown into a pit full of serpents.

Who acts: king, brother, toads · What happens: expect, happen, receive, wed, repent, put down · To what, where: sister, way, foot, real face, brother, king
