Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Goose-girl, sentence 73

But the old king told him to go out again as usual the next day: and when morning came, he placed himself behind the dark gate, and heard how the princess spoke, and how Falada answered; and then he went into the field and hid himself in a bush by the meadow's side, and soon saw with his own eyes how they drove the flock of geese, and how, after a little time, she let down her hair that glittered in the sun; and then he heard her say--

Who acts: old king, morning, king, princess, Falada, geese · What happens: tell, go out, come, place, hear, speak · To what, where: Curdken, dark gate, field, bush, flock, hair · Speech: someone speaks here
