Now you must go up to the King and ask for new shoes for me, and for them we must again have ten pounds of iron, twelve pounds of steel, and two smiths, one to hammer and one to hold, but be very particular to see that the hooks are very sharp.
Who acts: you, we, hooks · What happens: go up, ask, have, hammer, hold, be · To what, where: two smiths, ten pounds
