Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Golden Goose, sentence 134

Then she took it, and went to her mother's grave and planted it there, and cried so much that it was watered with her tears; and there it grew and became a fine tree, and soon a little bird came and built its nest upon the tree, and talked with her and watched over her, and brought her whatever she wished for.

Who acts: sprig, way, little bird · What happens: take, go, plant, cry, water, grow · To what, where: way, grave, fine tree, nest, whatever, sprig
