Celtic Fairy Tales, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire, sentence 56

"Next morning, when we were going away, the man of the house asked me to stay a while; and going into the next room, he brought out twelve loops of iron and one of wood, and said to me: 'Put the heads of your twelve sons into the iron loops, or your own head into the wooden one;' and I said: 'I'll put the twelve heads of my sons in the iron loops, and keep my own out of the wooden one.'

Who acts: we, man · What happens: go away, ask, stay, go, bring out, say · To what, where: man, next room, twelve loops, heads, iron loops, twelve heads · Speech: someone speaks here
