Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Valiant Little Tailor, sentence 39

‘Now, little mite of a man, do that likewise,’ ‘Well thrown,’ said the tailor, ‘but after all the stone came down to earth again; I will throw you one which shall never come back at all,’ and he put his hand into his pocket, took out the bird, and threw it into the air.

Who acts: little mite, I, one, mite · What happens: do, throw, say, come down, not come back, put · To what, where: that, tailor, earth, you, all, hand · Speech: someone speaks here
