The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 2, sentence 62

So the Master-maid asked him, as she had asked the sheriff, if he had a great deal of money, and the attorney said he was not ill off for that, and would at once go home to get it; and at night he came with a great big sack of money--this time it was a four-bushel sack--and set it on the bench by the Master-maid.

Who acts: Master maid, maid, sheriff, attorney, time · What happens: ask, have, say, not be, go, get · To what, where: sheriff, great deal, deal, bushel sack, bench, money · Speech: someone speaks here
