Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Goblin and the Huckster, sentence 34

So he went down stairs again into the huckster's shop, and it was a good thing he got back when he did, for the cask had almost worn out the lady's tongue; he had given a description of all that he contained on one side, and was just about to turn himself over to the other side to describe what was there, when the goblin entered and restored the tongue to the lady.

Who acts: student, jam, goblin · What happens: go down, be, get back, do, wear out, give · To what, where: stairs, shop, good thing, cask, student, description
