The Green Fairy Book, The Three Musicians, sentence 40

But as soon as the youth had the beard in his hands he felt so strong that he was fit for anything, and he perceived all sorts of things in the castle that he had not noticed before, but, on the other hand, all strength seemed to have gone from the little man.

Who acts: beard, strength · What happens: have, feel, be, perceive, not notice, seem · To what, where: beard, hands, sorts, castle, other hand, things
