Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Water of Life, sentence 50

When they came to the sea, they got into a ship and during their voyage the two eldest said to themselves, ‘Our brother has got the water which we could not find, therefore our father will forsake us and give him the kingdom, which is our right’; so they were full of envy and revenge, and agreed together how they could ruin him.

Who acts: armies, brother, we, father, kingdom · What happens: come, get, say, not find, forsake, give · To what, where: sea, ship, armies, water, us, kingdom · Speech: someone speaks here
