Celtic Fairy Tales, XXI. Beth Gellert., sentence 58

Soon after the Prince returned home, and, going into the nursery, he met his dog _Kill-hart_, all bloody and wagging his tail at him; Prince Llewellyn, on entering the room found the cradle where his child lay overturned, and the floor flowing with blood; imagining that the greyhound had killed the child, he immediately drew his sword and stabbed it; then, turning up the cradle, found under it the child alive, and the wolf dead.

Who acts: Prince, Llewellyn, child, floor · What happens: return, go, meet, wag, enter, find · To what, where: nursery, dog, tail, room, cradle, greyhound
