Grimms' Fairy Tales, Old Sultan, sentence 23

The boar, however, had not quite hidden himself, for his ears stuck out of the bush; and when he shook one of them a little, the cat, seeing something move, and thinking it was a mouse, sprang upon it, and bit and scratched it, so that the boar jumped up and grunted, and ran away, roaring out, ‘Look up in the tree, there sits the one who is to blame.’

Who acts: boar, ears, move, one · What happens: have, not hide, stick out, shake, see, think · To what, where: boar, bush, one, something move, mouse, bit · Speech: someone speaks here
