The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 26, sentence 28

He could not be got even to look after their one cow, but left her to look after herself, while he lay on a bank and went to sleep in the sun. For a long time his father bore with him, hoping that as he grew older he might gain more sense; but at last the old man’s patience was worn out, and he told his son that he should not stay at house in idleness, and must go out into the world to seek his fortune.

Who acts: son, father · What happens: not get, look, leave, lie, go, sleep · To what, where: son, cow, bank, sun., long time, more sense · Speech: someone speaks here
