English Fairy Tales, Mr. Vinegar, sentence 56

You fool, you--you had no sooner got the bagpipes than you changed them for the gloves, which were not worth one-quarter of the money; and when you had got the gloves, you changed them for a poor miserable stick; and now for your forty guineas, cow, bagpipes, and gloves, you have nothing to show but that poor miserable stick, which you might have cut in any hedge.”

Who acts: You, gloves, forty guineas, that · What happens: fool, have, get, change, not be, show · To what, where: bagpipes, gloves, nothing, poor miserable stick, hedge
