Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Story of a Mother, sentence 6

As the old man trembled with cold, and the little child slept a moment, the mother went and poured some ale into a pot and set it on the stove, that it might be warm for him; the old man sat and rocked the cradle, and the mother sat down on a chair close by him, and looked at her little sick child that drew its breath so deep, and raised its little hand.

Who acts: old man, little child, mother, child, little sick child · What happens: tremble, sleep, go, pour, set, be · To what, where: ale, pot, child, stove, cradle, chair
