Grimm's Fairy Stories, Little One-eye, Two-eyes and Three-eyes, sentence 78
Make haste, Two-Eyes!" exclaimed the two elder sisters; "make haste, and creep out of our way, that we may not be ashamed of you"; and so saying, they put over her in great haste an empty cask which stood near, and which covered the golden apples as well, which she had just been plucking.
Who acts: you, haste, empty cask · What happens: make, exclaim, creep out, not asham, say, put · To what, where: haste, two elder sisters, way, we, great haste, golden apples · Speech: someone speaks here
