The Green Fairy Book, Little One-eye, Little Two-eyes, and Little Three-eyes, sentence 98

‘Be quick, Little Two-eyes,’ cried the two sisters, ‘creep under this, so that you shall not disgrace us,’ and they put over poor Little Two-eyes as quickly as possible an empty cask, which was standing close to the tree, and they pushed the golden apples which she had broken off under with her.

Who acts: you, apples, possible empty cask · What happens: be, cry, not disgrace, put over, stand, push · To what, where: two sisters, us, poor Little Two eyes, golden apples
