Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Golden Bird, sentence 33
You must go straight on till you come to the castle where the horse stands in his stall: by his side will lie the groom fast asleep and snoring: take away the horse quietly, but be sure to put the old leathern saddle upon him, and not the golden one that is close by it.’
Who acts: You, horse, golden one · What happens: go, come, stand, lie, snore, take away · To what, where: castle, stall, groom, horse, old leathern saddle
