Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Goose-girl, sentence 67

And Curdken said, "When we go in the morning through the dark gate with our flock of geese, she weeps, and talks with the head of a horse that hangs upon the wall, and says--

Who acts: Curdken, we, girl, horse · What happens: say, go, weep, talk, hang · To what, where: dark gate, wall · Speech: someone speaks here
