The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 7

But now you must take out your little knife and cut off my head with it, and then you must flay me and roll up my hide and put it there under the rock, and beneath the hide you must lay the copper leaf, and the silver leaf, and the golden apple.

Who acts: you · What happens: take out, cut off, flay, roll up, put, lay · To what, where: little knife, me, hide, rock, copper leaf
