The Yellow Fairy Book, The Cat and the Mouse in Partnership, sentence 51

From this time on no one asked the Cat to stand godmother; but when the winter came and there was nothing to be got outside, the Mouse remembered their provision and said, ‘Come, Cat, we will go to our pot of fat which we have stored away; it will taste very good.’

Who acts: winter, nothing, Mouse, we, provision, others · What happens: ask, stand, come, be, get, remember · To what, where: Cat, godmother, provision, pot · Speech: someone speaks here
