Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Fox and the Horse, sentence 5

‘Ah!’ replied the horse, ‘justice and avarice never dwell in one house; my master has forgotten all that I have done for him so many years, and because I can no longer work he has turned me adrift, and says unless I become stronger than a lion he will not take me back again; what chance can I have of that? he knows I have none, or he would not talk so.’

Who acts: justice, master, I, horse, chance · What happens: reply, not dwell, forget, do, turn, say · To what, where: horse, one house, that, I, me, none · Speech: someone speaks here
