The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 1, sentence 32

She proceeded to tell all that had happened to her, and when the mother heard how she had come by her riches, she was most anxious to secure the same luck for her own idle, ugly daughter; so she told her to sit at the well and spin.

Who acts: girl, that, mother · What happens: proceed, tell, happen, hear, come, be · To what, where: girl, same luck, Mother, well · Speech: someone speaks here
