Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Elves and the Shoemaker, sentence 10

He cut out the work again overnight and found it done in the morning, as before; and so it went on for some time: what was got ready in the evening was always done by daybreak, and the good man soon became thriving and well off again.

Who acts: customer, work, daybreak, good man · What happens: cut out, find, do, go on, get, become · To what, where: work, time
