Grimm's Fairy Stories, Faithful John, sentence 101

And as soon as he had sprinkled the statue with blood, life came back to it, and the trusty John stood again alive and well before him, and said, "Your faith shall not go unrewarded"; and taking the heads of the two children he set them on again, and anointed their wounds with their blood, and thereupon they healed again in a moment, and the children sprang away and played as if nothing had happened.

Who acts: John, life, trusty John, faith, children, nothing · What happens: sprinkle, come back, stand, say, not go, unreward · To what, where: statue, blood, heads, children, wounds · Speech: someone speaks here
