The Green Fairy Book, The Story of the Three Bears, sentence 15

And then she went to the porridge of the Little, Small, Wee Bear, and tasted that; and that was neither too hot nor too cold, but just right; and she liked it so well, that she ate it all up: but the naughty old woman said a bad word about the little porridge-pot, because it did not hold enough for her.

Who acts: woman, that, naughty old woman, word · What happens: go, taste, be, like, eat up, say · To what, where: porridge, bad word, enough · Speech: someone speaks here
