English Fairy Tales, Mr. Miacca, sentence 29

And they waited, and they waited, but still the pot didn't boil, till at last Mr. Miacca got tired of waiting, and he said: “Here, you under there, I'm not going to wait any longer; put out your leg, and I'll stop your giving us the slip.”

Who acts: Grimes, pot, your · What happens: wait, not boil, get, say, not go, put out · To what, where: last Miacca, leg, slip, us · Speech: someone speaks here
