Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Salad, sentence 51

Now the servant-maid came into the kitchen, and seeing the salad ready, was going to carry it up; but on the way she too felt a wish to taste it as the old woman had done, and ate some leaves; so she also was turned into an ass and ran after the other, letting the dish with the salad fall on the ground.

Who acts: servant maid, seeing, maid, old woman, dish · What happens: come, see, go, carry up, feel, taste · To what, where: kitchen, salad, wish, way, leaves, woman
