Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Under the Willow-tree, part 2, sentence 98

The master and his wife, in whose workshop he was employed, were an old, pious couple; and the two old people became quite fond of the quiet journeyman, who spoke but little, but worked more, and led a pious, Christian life; and even to himself it seemed as if God had removed the heavy burden from his heart.

Who acts: workshop, master, two old people, quiet journeyman · What happens: employ, be, become, speak, work, lead · To what, where: master, old pious couple, pious Christian life, God · Speech: someone speaks here
