Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Golden Goose, sentence 50

Dummling did not think long, but went straight into the forest, where in the same place there sat a man who was tying up his body with a strap, and making an awful face, and saying: ‘I have eaten a whole ovenful of rolls, but what good is that when one has such a hunger as I?

Who acts: Dummling, same place, man, I, one · What happens: not think, go, sit, tie up, make, say · To what, where: forest, man, body, awful face, whole ovenful · Speech: someone speaks here
