Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Little Peasant, sentence 71

At this same moment up came, with a flock of sheep, the very shepherd whom the peasant knew had long been wishing to be mayor, so he cried with all his might: ‘No, I will not do it; if the whole world insists on it, I will not do it!’

Who acts: mayor, I, whole world · What happens: come, wish, be, cry, not do, insist · To what, where: shepherd, mayor, world · Speech: someone speaks here
