Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Goose-girl, sentence 25

However, the old king happened to be looking out of the window, and saw her in the yard below; and as she looked very pretty, and too delicate for a waiting-maid, he went into the royal chamber to ask the bride whom it was she had brought with her, that was thus left standing in the court below. "

Who acts: old king, maid, king, that · What happens: happen, look out, see, look, go, ask · To what, where: window, maid, royal chamber, bride, chamber, that
