The Violet Fairy Book, The Story of Hassebu, sentence 28

Seeing this, the men said to Hassebu, ‘We will put a rope under your arms, and let you down, so that you may scrape up all the honey that is left, and when you have done we will lower the rope again, and you shall make it fast, and we will draw you up.’

Who acts: men, We, you · What happens: see, say, put, let down, scrape up, leave · To what, where: this, Hassebu, rope, arms, you, honey · Speech: someone speaks here
