Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was, sentence 2

When anything had to be done, it was always the elder who was forced to do it; but if his father bade him fetch anything when it was late, or in the night-time, and the way led through the churchyard, or any other dismal place, he answered: ‘Oh, no father, I’ll not go there, it makes me shudder!’ for he was afraid.

Who acts: anything, trouble, elder, way, father, I · What happens: have, do, be, force, fetch, lead · To what, where: elder, trouble, father bade, churchyard, me
