Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 3, sentence 32

He drew out his knife, cut the plant, and carried it into his own house; stripped the leaves off it and cut up the stalk; and there came a thick, white juice out of it, as there comes out of the sow-thistle when it is bruised, except that the juice was more like oil.

Who acts: herb, thick white juice · What happens: draw out, cut, carry, strip, cut up, come · To what, where: knife, plant, own house, leaves, house, stalk
