Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Goose-girl, sentence 76

Then he went into the field, and hid himself in a bush by the meadow’s side; and he soon saw with his own eyes how they drove the flock of geese; and how, after a little time, she let down her hair that glittered in the sun. And then he heard her say:

Who acts: king, eyes, Falada, hair · What happens: go, hide, see, drive, let down, glitter · To what, where: field, king, bush, flock, hair, sun. · Speech: someone speaks here
