The Yellow Fairy Book, How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World, part 1, sentence 38

‘Ah,’ said he, ‘the King’s daughter shall not overreach us;’ and, loading his gun, he shot so cleverly, that he shot away the horse’s skull from under the runner’s head, without its hurting him.

Who acts: wind, daughter, skull · What happens: say, not overreach, load, shoot, shoot away, hurt · To what, where: us, gun, skull, head, wind · Speech: someone speaks here
