Grimms' Fairy Tales, 3. How Partlet Died and Was Buried, and How Chanticleer Died of Grief, sentence 24

Then a stone, who saw what had happened, came up and kindly offered to help poor Chanticleer by laying himself across the stream; and this time he got safely to the other side with the hearse, and managed to get Partlet out of it; but the fox and the other mourners, who were sitting behind, were too heavy, and fell back into the water and were all carried away by the stream and drowned.

Who acts: stone, other mourners, fox, stream · What happens: see, happen, come up, offer, help, lay · To what, where: poor Chanticleer, stone, stream, Partlet, water · Speech: someone speaks here
