Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 2, sentence 16
"I call and cross you to myself, in the name of God!" said he; and on the spot, before the word was out of his mouth, the horse fell down, and what was in it but the beam of a plough, of which they had made a horse; and every other horse they had, it was that way they made it.
Who acts: Guleesh, word, horse, words, other horse · What happens: call, cross, say, be, fall down, make · To what, where: you, Guleesh, mouth, spot, horse, other horse · Speech: someone speaks here
