The Violet Fairy Book, The Fairy of the Dawn, part 2, sentence 82

The Welwa uttered a neigh so loud that Petru thought he would be deaf for life, and then, though she too was nearly spent, flung herself upon her enemy; but Petru was on the watch and threw the bridle over her head, as she rushed on, so that when the day broke there were three horses trotting beside him.

Who acts: Welwa, Petru, Strike, day, three horses · What happens: utter, think, be, spend, fling, throw · To what, where: neigh, Strike, enemy, watch, bridle, head · Speech: someone speaks here
