Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Juniper-tree, sentence 107

The bird came down, and all the twenty millers set to and lifted up the stone with a beam; then the bird put his head through the hole and took the stone round his neck like a collar, and flew back with it to the tree and sang--

Who acts: bird, twenty millers · What happens: come down, set, lift up, put, take, fly back · To what, where: stone, head, hole
