Grimms' Fairy Tales, Iron Hans, sentence 163

But the king made the most skilful workmen in his kingdom weave the three dresses: one golden, like the sun; another silvery, like the moon; and a third sparkling, like the stars: and his hunters were told to hunt out all the beasts in his kingdom, and to take the finest fur out of their skins: and thus a mantle of a thousand furs was made.

Who acts: king, skilful workmen, hunters · What happens: make, weave, tell, hunt out, take · To what, where: skilful workmen, kingdom, three dresses, hunters, beasts, finest fur · Speech: someone speaks here
