Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Miser in the Bush, sentence 55
In the evening when she was tired, she had no bed to lie down on, but was made to lie by the hearth among the ashes; and as this, of course, made her always dusty and dirty, they called her Ashputtel.
Who acts: wife, bed, this, sisters · What happens: be, have, lie down, make, lie, call · To what, where: bed, wife, Ashputtel · Speech: someone speaks here
