Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Golden Bird, sentence 57
All went right: then the fox said, ‘When you come to the castle where the bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door, and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it is the right horse, he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into your hand, ride away.’
Who acts: fox, you, bird, I · What happens: go, say, come, be, stay, ride · To what, where: castle, door, right horse, bird, true golden bird, hand · Speech: someone speaks here
