Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Four Clever Brothers, sentence 16
The plan pleased him much, and he soon became such a skilful star-gazer, that when he had served out his time, and wanted to leave his master, he gave him a glass, and said, ‘With this you can see all that is passing in the sky and on earth, and nothing can be hidden from you.’
Who acts: man, you, that · What happens: become, serve out, want, leave, give, say · To what, where: skilful star gazer, master, glass, craft, sky, nothing · Speech: someone speaks here
