Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Queen Bee, sentence 2

Then their brother, who was a little insignificant dwarf, went out to seek for his brothers: but when he had found them they only laughed at him, to think that he, who was so young and simple, should try to travel through the world, when they, who were so much wiser, had been unable to get on.

Who acts: brother, dwarf, sons · What happens: be, go out, seek, find, laugh, think · To what, where: little insignificant dwarf, sons, world
