The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 2, sentence 80

But when they ask you on your wedding-day whom you will have to be your cup-bearer, you must say, “I will have the ragged boy who is in the kitchen, and carries wood and water for the kitchen-maid;” and when I am filling your cups for you, I will spill a drop upon his plate but none upon yours, and then he will be angry and strike me, and this will take place thrice.

Who acts: wife, you, wedding day, I, ragged boy, boy · What happens: ask, have, be, say, carry, fill · To what, where: you, wedding day, cup bearer, ragged boy, kitchen, wood · Speech: someone speaks here
