The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch and Her Servants(22), part 2, sentence 50

If you look after them both for a whole year I will give you anything you like to ask; but if, on the other hand, you let either of the animals escape you, your last hour is come, and your head shall be stuck on the last spike of my fence.

Who acts: you, I, either, fence · What happens: look, give, like, ask, let, escape · To what, where: anything, you, last hour, head, last spike
