The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 34, sentence 115

There they were married the next day, but instead of setting up housekeeping with the little cow and pig to fatten that they had so long wished for, they were able to buy lands for miles round for themselves, and gave each man who had been delivered from the Groac’h a small farm, where he lived happily to the end of his days.

Who acts: cabbage, man · What happens: marry, set up, housekeep, fatten, wish, be · To what, where: cabbage, lands, man, Groac’h
