Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 3, sentence 172

But the wife called her husband into another room, and said to him: "Thou knowest that I love thee dearly, and would sink from sorrow and anguish if thou shouldst be torn from me; but we have eight children, and no bread in the cupboard, and no money, and with the money the strangers offer thee we should have enough for our whole lives; so go with them, and be sure no evil will befall thee."

Who acts: wife, Thou, I, we, strangers, evil · What happens: call, say, know, love, sink, anguish · To what, where: husband, room, cave, thee, sorrow, thou · Speech: someone speaks here
