The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 6, sentence 19

“When we are come to my father’s house,” said his own snake to him, “he will reward you with anything you like to ask—silver, gold, jewels, or whatever on this earth is most precious; but take none of all these things, ask rather to understand the language of beasts.

Who acts: own snake, snake, earth · What happens: come, say, reward, like, ask, be · To what, where: we, whatever, snake, none, language · Speech: someone speaks here
