When he came back to the King’s palace the kitchen-maid clapped her hands and wondered where he could have got all that gold and silver; but Minnikin answered that he had been home for a short time, and that it was only the hoops which had fallen off some pails, and that he had brought them away for the kitchen-maid.

Who acts: Minnikin, kitchen maid, maid, hoops · What happens: come back, clap, wonder, get, answer, be · To what, where: palace, hands, gold, hoops, pails · Speech: someone speaks here
