The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 1, sentence 101

So the Master-maid took a knife, and cut the Prince’s little finger, and dropped three drops of blood upon a wooden stool; then she took all the old rags, and shoe-soles, and all the rubbish she could lay hands on, and put them in the cauldron; and then she filled a chest with gold dust, and a lump of salt, and a water-flask which was hanging by the door, and she also took with her a golden apple, and two gold chickens; and then she and the Prince went away with all the speed they could, and when they had gone a little way they came to the sea, and then they sailed, but where they got the ship from I have never been able to learn.

Who acts: Master maid, maid, rubbish, water flask, hands, I · What happens: take, cut, drop, lay, put, fill · To what, where: knife, little finger, three drops, wooden stool, old rags, hands
