Grimms' Fairy Tales, The King of the Golden Mountain, sentence 54

When he came to his father’s house, he said he was his son; but the merchant would not believe him, and said he had had but one son, his poor Heinel, who he knew was long since dead: and as he was only dressed like a poor shepherd, he would not even give him anything to eat.

Who acts: Heinel, merchant, poor Heinel · What happens: come, say, be, not believe, have, know · To what, where: house, son, Heinel, anything, shepherd · Speech: someone speaks here
