Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Fleece., part 5, sentence 17

Each of the three who had been struck by the stone took it for granted that his next neighbor had given him a blow; and instead of running any farther towards Jason, they began to fight among themselves.

Who acts: men · What happens: strike, take, grant, give, run, begin · To what, where: three, stone, next neighbor, Jason
