The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 3, sentence 64

Three strokes of the Fairy’s wand restored his natural form, and he was as handsome and delightful as ever, but he considered that he paid dearly for his restoration when he caught sight of Turritella, and the mere idea of marrying her made him shudder.

Who acts: Three strokes, King, mere idea · What happens: restore, be, consider, pay, catch, marry · To what, where: natural form, sight, Turritella, shudder, King, wand
