The Red Fairy Book, The Master Thief, sentence 194

But they were determined to have it, and there was nothing to be done but give it; so she took out the flask with the sleeping drink and put it to the lips of the first of them; and now she shook no more, but guided the flask so that each of them got just as much as he ought, and the twelfth had not done drinking before the first was already sitting snoring.

Who acts: hand, nothing, woman, each, first · What happens: be, have, do, give, take out, put · To what, where: mouth, flask, more, much, twelfth, snoring
