The Green Fairy Book, Allerleirauh; Or, the Many-furred Creature, sentence 43

When she came into the kitchen and was setting about her work of sweeping the ashes together, the cook said to her, ‘Let that wait till to-morrow, and just cook the King’s soup for me; I want to have a little peep at the company upstairs; but be sure that you do not let a hair fall into it, otherwise you will get nothing to eat in future!’

Who acts: cook, work, that, I, you, hair · What happens: come, set, sweep, say, let, wait · To what, where: kitchen, ashes, Creature, that, soup, little peep · Speech: someone speaks here
