Grimms' Fairy Tales, 2. How Chanticleer and Partlet Went to Visit Mr Korbes, sentence 11

When Mr Korbes came home, he went to the fireplace to make a fire; but the cat threw all the ashes in his eyes: so he ran to the kitchen to wash himself; but there the duck splashed all the water in his face; and when he tried to wipe himself, the egg broke to pieces in the towel all over his face and eyes.

Who acts: Mr, cat, duck, egg · What happens: come, go, make, throw, run, wash · To what, where: fireplace, fire, ashes, eyes, cat, water
