Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Goose-girl, sentence 50

Then there came a wind, so strong that it blew off Curdken’s hat; and away it flew over the hills: and he was forced to turn and run after it; till, by the time he came back, she had done combing and curling her hair, and had put it up again safe.

Who acts: wind, hat, Curdken, joy · What happens: come, blow off, fly, force, turn, run · To what, where: hat, hills, Curdken, time, hair
