The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch and Her Servants(22), part 1, sentence 76

They will rush to eat them up greedily, and when you have scattered the last crumb you must lose no time in throwing the hare to them; as soon as the hare feels itself on the ground it will run away as quickly as possible, and the wild beasts will turn to pursue it.

Who acts: crumbs, you, hare, wild beasts · What happens: rush, eat up, scatter, lose, throw, feel · To what, where: crumbs, you, hare, ground
