Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Turnip, sentence 16

However, he determined to manage more cleverly than his brother, and got together a rich present of gold and fine horses for the king; and thought he must have a much larger gift in return; for if his brother had received so much for only a turnip, what must his present be worth?

Who acts: gardener, brother · What happens: determine, manage, get together, think, have, receive · To what, where: rich present, larger gift, return · Speech: someone speaks here
