When they had seated themselves at the table the Prince who had been in service with the giant said that he thought they ought to have invited the maiden who had lent them the shovel-handle, and the porch-door, and the calf up to the palace, “for,” said he, “if we had not got these three things, we should never have got away from the palace.”

Who acts: Prince, service, maiden, we · What happens: seat, be, say, think, invite, lend · To what, where: brother, table, service, porch door, three things, palace · Speech: someone speaks here
