He put it on, and taking the twelve iron loops, put them on the necks of the twelve daughters of the house, then snapped the twelve heads off them, and turning to their father, said: "I'll do the same thing to you unless you bring the twelve sons of my master to life, and make them as well and strong as when you took their heads."

Who acts: master, you · What happens: put on, take, put, snap, turn, say · To what, where: flesh, twelve iron loops, loops, necks, twelve heads, same thing · Speech: someone speaks here
