The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 68

With the sharp point of one of his arrows he gently detached their hands and feet from the wood which held them fast, and carried them on shore, one after another, where he rubbed their rigid limbs, and bathed them with infusions of various herbs with such success, that, after a few days, they recovered perfectly and were as fit to manage a boat as ever.

Who acts: Prince, wood, branches · What happens: detach, hold, carry, rub, bath, recover · To what, where: hands, branches, shore, rigid limbs, boat
