Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Little Peasant, sentence 3

One day he said to her: ‘Listen, I have a good idea, there is our gossip the carpenter, he shall make us a wooden calf, and paint it brown, so that it looks like any other, and in time it will certainly get big and be a cow.’ the woman also liked the idea, and their gossip the carpenter cut and planed the calf, and painted it as it ought to be, and made it with its head hanging down as if it were eating.

Who acts: village, I, good idea, gossip, woman, idea · What happens: say, listen, have, be, make, paint · To what, where: cow, carpenter, wooden calf, us, calf, idea · Speech: someone speaks here
