Grimms' Fairy Tales, Hans in Luck, sentence 37

‘I can find a cure for this,’ thought he; ‘now I will milk my cow and quench my thirst’: so he tied her to the stump of a tree, and held his leathern cap to milk into; but not a drop was to be had.

Who acts: I, heat, my · What happens: find, think, milk, quench, tie, hold · To what, where: cure, heat, thirst, cow, leathern cap, drop · Speech: someone speaks here
