Grimm's Fairy Stories, Little One-eye, Two-eyes and Three-eyes, sentence 69

One-Eye went up to the tree, and pulled a bough toward her, to pluck off the fruit; but the bough flew back again directly out of her hands; and so it did every time she took hold of it, till she was forced to give up, for she could not obtain a single golden apple in spite of all her endeavors.

Who acts: One Eye, bough, tree, Eye · What happens: go up, pull, pluck off, fly back, do, take · To what, where: bough, fruit, hands, hold, Eye, single golden apple
