The Yellow Fairy Book, The Hazel-nut Child (29), sentence 44

At length the Hazel-nut child came to his native village; then he undid the ribbon from the stork’s neck and the diamond fell to the ground; he covered it first with sand and stones, and then ran to get his parents, so that they might carry the treasure home, for he himself was not able to lift the great diamond.

Who acts: Hazel nut child, man, diamond, children · What happens: come, undo, fall, cover, run, get · To what, where: length, ribbon, neck, diamond, parents, treasure
