Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Seven Ravens, sentence 12

So they dared no longer hide the truth from her, but said it was the will of Heaven, and that her birth was only the innocent cause of it; but the little girl mourned sadly about it every day, and thought herself bound to do all she could to bring her brothers back; and she had neither rest nor ease, till at length one day she stole away, and set out into the wide world to find her brothers, wherever they might be, and free them, whatever it might cost her.

Who acts: brothers, truth, birth, little girl, daughter · What happens: dare, hide, say, be, mourn, think · To what, where: truth, innocent cause, daughter, all, brothers, rest · Speech: someone speaks here
