Grimm's Fairy Stories, Catherine and Frederick, sentence 6

So she took a can and went down into the cellar to draw the beer, and while it ran into the can, she bethought herself that perhaps the dog might steal the sausage out of the pan, and so up the cellar stairs she ran, but too late, for the rogue had already got the meat in his mouth and was sneaking off.

Who acts: Catherine, beer, dog, rogue · What happens: take, go down, draw, run, bethink, steal · To what, where: cellar, beer, Catherine, sausage, pan, cellar stairs
