Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Fisherman and His Wife, sentence 23

Everything went right for a week or two, and then Dame Ilsabill said, ‘Husband, there is not near room enough for us in this cottage; the courtyard and the garden are a great deal too small; I should like to have a large stone castle to live in: go to the fish again and tell him to give us a castle.’

Who acts: Everything, Dame, near room, courtyard, I · What happens: go, say, be, like, have, live in · To what, where: Husband, cottage, great deal, large stone castle, room, castle · Speech: someone speaks here
