Grimms' Fairy Tales, 3. How Partlet Died and Was Buried, and How Chanticleer Died of Grief, sentence 88

He followed the sound, and at last came to a high tree, and at the top of this a little child was sitting, for the mother had fallen asleep under the tree with the child, and a bird of prey had seen it in her arms, had flown down, snatched it away, and set it on the high tree.

Who acts: forester, little child, mother · What happens: follow, come, sit, fall, see, fly down · To what, where: sound, last, top, tree, bird, arms
