English Fairy Tales, The Master and His Pupil, sentence 30
But the master remembered on his journey that he had not locked his book, and therefore returned, and at the moment when the water was bubbling about the pupil's chin, rushed into the room and spoke the words which cast Beelzebub back into his fiery home.
Who acts: master, journey, water, words · What happens: remember, not lock, return, bubble, rush, speak · To what, where: journey, master, room, words, Beelzebub, fiery home · Speech: someone speaks here
