The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 69

You may be sure that the good Fairy Genesta had something to do with this marvellous cure, and she also put it into the Prince’s head to rub the boat itself with the same magic herbs, which cleared it entirely, and not before it was time, for, at the rate at which it was growing before, it would very soon have become a forest!

Who acts: You, good Fairy Genesta, Mannikin, same magic herbs, boat · What happens: be, have, do, put, rub, clear · To what, where: something, cure, head, boat, rate, forest
