English Fairy Tales, Molly Whuppie, sentence 32

Molly waited until he was snoring, and she crept out, and reached over the giant and got down the sword; but just as she got it out over the bed it gave a rattle, and up jumped the giant, and Molly ran out at the door and the sword with her; and she ran, and he ran, till they came to the “Bridge of one hair”; and she got over, but he couldn't, and he says, “Woe worth ye, Molly Whuppie! never ye come again.”

Who acts: Molly, sword, supper, sisters, ye · What happens: wait, snore, creep out, reach, get down, get out · To what, where: sword, supper, rattle, bed, giant, door · Speech: someone speaks here
