The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 23, sentence 32

Matte and Maie were industrious, hard-working folk, happy and contented in their poor hut, and they thought themselves rich when they were able to salt as many casks of fish as they required for winter and yet have some left over with which to buy tobacco for the old man, and a pound or two of coffee for his wife, with plenty of burned corn and chicory in it to give it a flavour.

Who acts: Matte · What happens: be, work, content, think, require, have · To what, where: poor hut, Matte, salt, some, tobacco · Speech: someone speaks here
