Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Travels of Tom Thumb, sentence 13

"I should like to know what you want, you little grasshopper!" cried the woman very angrily, and she seized a shred of cloth to strike him; however, the tiny tailor popped under a thimble, and from it he peeped, putting out his tongue at the mistress.

Who acts: woman, you, grasshopper · What happens: like, know, want, grasshopper, cry, seize · To what, where: tiny tailor, shred, grasshopper, thimble, tongue · Speech: someone speaks here
