Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Seven Ravens, sentence 18

She wanted to save her brothers, and had no key of the castle of the glass-mountain; so this faithful little sister took a knife out of her pocket and cut off her little finger, that was just the size of the piece of wood she had lost, and put it in the door and opened it.

Who acts: girl, this, faithful little sister, that · What happens: want, save, have, sister, take, cut off · To what, where: brothers, key, knife, pocket, little finger, size
