The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Upon Earth"], sentence 118

Little Thumb, who had observed that the Ogre's daughters had crowns of gold upon their heads, and was afraid lest the Ogre should repent his not killing them, got up about midnight; and taking his brothers' bonnets and his own, went very softly, put them upon the heads of the seven little Ogresses, after having taken off their crowns of gold, which he put upon his own head and his brothers', that the Ogre might take them for his daughters, and his daughters for the little boys whom he wanted to kill.

Who acts: Little Thumb, daughters, Ogre, taken crowns, little boys, Ogresses · What happens: observe, have, be, repent, not kill, get up · To what, where: crowns, Thumb, bonnets, heads, taken crowns, own head
