Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Little Robber-girl, sentence 65

When the mother had drunk out of the bottle, and was gone to sleep, the little robber-maiden went to the reindeer, and said, "I should like very much to tickle your neck a few times more with my knife, for it makes you look so funny; but never mind,--I will untie your cord, and set you free, so that you may run away to Lapland; but you must make good use of your legs, and carry this little maiden to the castle of the Snow Queen, where her play-fellow is.

Who acts: robber maiden, neck, you · What happens: drink out, go, sleep, say, like, tickle · To what, where: mother, bottle, reindeer, neck, you, cord · Speech: someone speaks here
