More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 6, sentence 101

But when the gooseherd had listened to her story, he bade her cheer up, and proposed that they should go together into the town to see the King, and all the fine things; and when she looked sorrowfully down at her rags and bare feet, he played a note or two upon his pipe, so gay and merry, that she forgot all about her tears and her troubles, and before she well knew, the herdboy had taken her by the hand, and she, and he, and the geese before them, were dancing down the road towards the town.

Who acts: king, Tattercoats, gooseherd, hand, geese · What happens: listen, bade, cheer up, propose, go together, see · To what, where: gooseherd, fine things, town, King, note, tears
