Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage, sentence 20

So now the bird set the table, and the mouse looked after the food and, wishing to prepare it in the same way as the sausage, by rolling in and out among the vegetables to salt and butter them, she jumped into the pot; but she stopped short long before she reached the bottom, having already parted not only with her skin and hair, but also with life.

Who acts: bird, mouse, life · What happens: set, look, wish, prepare, roll, jump · To what, where: table, same way, vegetables, pot, bottom, skin
