Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Golden Goose, sentence 76

Whoever looked at him ran away; but because he gave the poor in every place gold coin they prayed that he might not die during the seven years; and because he paid liberally everywhere, he found a night's lodging without difficulty.

Who acts: Whoever, soldier, hair · What happens: look, run away, give, pray, not die, pay · To what, where: poor, place gold coin, lodging
