The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch in the Stone Boat(31), sentence 60

This he agreed to, but put on her this iron belt and chain, the other end of which he fastened round his own waist, and the great noises that were heard when the King cut the chain must have been caused by the Giant’s falling down the underground passage when the chain gave way so suddenly.

Who acts: This, shaking, King, Giant, chain · What happens: agree, put, fasten, hear, cut, cause · To what, where: iron belt, great noises, chain, underground passage, way · Speech: someone speaks here
