Now when the old hag saw this, and heard how the lad wanted the million-fold rice which ripens in a single night, she fell into the most furious rage, but being terribly afraid of her daughter, she controlled herself, and bade the boy go and find the field guarded by eighteen millions of demons, warning him on no account to look back after having plucked the tallest spike of rice, which grew in the centre.

Who acts: old hag, lad, fold rice, hag, bade, rice · What happens: see, hear, want, ripen, fall, be · To what, where: this, fold rice, furious rage, hag, field, lad · Speech: someone speaks here
