Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Seven Ravens, sentence 4

Each wanted to be first at drawing the water, and so they were in such a hurry that all let their pitchers fall into the well, and they stood very foolishly looking at one another, and did not know what to do, for none dared go home.

Who acts: Each, sons, pitchers, none · What happens: want, be, draw, let, fall, stand · To what, where: water, hurry, well · Speech: someone speaks here
