The Yellow Fairy Book, The Dragon of the North(2), sentence 153

When all was ready, it was found that the iron horse was so heavy that a hundred men could not move it from the spot, so the youth found there was nothing for it but to move it with his own strength by means of the magic ring.

Who acts: all, iron horse, hundred men, youth, nothing · What happens: be, find, not move, move, mean · To what, where: horse, spot · Speech: someone speaks here
