The Green Fairy Book, Jorinde and Joringel, sentence 4

If any youth came within a hundred paces of the castle, he was obliged to stand still, and could not stir from the spot till she set him free; but if a pretty girl came within this boundary, the old enchantress changed her into a bird, and shut her up in a wicker cage, which she put in one of the rooms in the castle.

Who acts: youth, woman, pretty girl, old enchantress, wicker cage · What happens: come, oblige, stand, not stir, set, change · To what, where: youth, spot, woman, wicker cage
