Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Valiant Little Tailor, sentence 5

He looked at them all, held them up to the light, smelt them, and at last said, "These jams seem to me to be very nice, so you may weigh me out two ounces, my good woman; I don't object even if you make it a quarter of a pound."

Who acts: three, jams, you, I · What happens: look, hold up, smelt, say, seem, be · To what, where: pots, last, me, object · Speech: someone speaks here
