Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 21, sentence 108

One, an elder sister, stayed at home and cooked the food, and the other ten--all brothers--went out, two and two, and walked about the four different ways that ran through that part of the country, robbing those travellers who could not resist them, and inviting others, who were too powerful for two of them to manage, to come and rest at their house, where the whole family attacked them and stole their goods.

Who acts: elder sister, brothers, four different ways, others, whole family · What happens: stay, cook, go out, walk, run, rob · To what, where: One, home, food, other ten, part, travellers
