Grimms' Fairy Tales, Cat and Mouse in Partnership, sentence 43
From this time forth no one invited the cat to be godmother, but when the winter had come and there was no longer anything to be found outside, the mouse thought of their provision, and said: ‘Come, cat, we will go to our pot of fat which we have stored up for ourselves--we shall enjoy that.’
Who acts: one, winter, mouse, we, others · What happens: invite, be, come, find, think, say · To what, where: cat, godmother, pot, that · Speech: someone speaks here
