Grimm's Fairy Stories, Oh, If I Could But Shiver!, sentence 171

So she went to the brook which flowed through the garden, and drew up a pail of water full of little fish; and, at night, when the young Prince was asleep, his bride drew away the covering and poured the pail of cold water and the little fishes over him, so that they slipped all about him.

Who acts: last, brook, young Prince, bride, chambermaids · What happens: go, flow, draw up, be, draw away, pour · To what, where: brook, garden, pail, covering
