Grimm's Fairy Stories, Hansel and Grethel, sentence 55

Hansel kept saying to Grethel, "We will soon find the way"; but they did not, and they walked the whole night long and the next day, but still they did not come out of the wood; and they got so hungry, for they had nothing to eat but the berries which they found upon the bushes.

Who acts: Hansel, We, wood · What happens: keep, say, find, not do, walk, not come out · To what, where: Grethel, way, nothing · Speech: someone speaks here
