Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Golden Bird, sentence 13
You will reach a village in the evening; and when you get there, you will see two inns opposite to each other, one of which is very pleasant and beautiful to look at: go not in there, but rest for the night in the other, though it may appear to you to be very poor and mean.’
Who acts: You, rest · What happens: reach, get, see, be, look, not go · To what, where: village, two inns, you
