Grimms' Fairy Tales, Iron Hans, sentence 189

As soon as the cook went away, Cat-skin heated the king’s soup, and toasted a slice of bread first, as nicely as ever she could; and when it was ready, she went and looked in the cabin for her little golden ring, and put it into the dish in which the soup was.

Who acts: Cat skin, SKIN, truth · What happens: go away, heat, toast, be, go, look · To what, where: soup, slice, cabin, dish, bread
