The King was so carried away by the glamour of the white hind's magical beauty, that he went home at once, had the eyes of his seven Queens taken out, and, after throwing the poor blind creatures into a noisome dungeon whence they could not escape, set off once more for the hovel in the ravine, bearing with him his horrible offering.
Who acts: glamour, king, eyes · What happens: carry away, go, have, take out, throw, not escape · To what, where: King, eyes, seven Queens, poor blind creatures, noisome dungeon, horrible offering
