The Yellow Fairy Book, The Flying Ship(24), sentence 122

But, fortunately, his comrade with the straw on his back had entered behind him, and when the door was shut upon them he scattered the straw about, and suddenly the red-hot walls cooled down, and it became so very cold that the Simpleton could scarcely bear to take a bath, and all the water in the room froze.

Who acts: King, hot walls, Simpleton, water · What happens: enter, shut, scatter, cool down, become, bear · To what, where: comrade, door, straw, bath
