English Fairy Tales, Tom Tit Tot, sentence 28

But look you here,” says he, “eleven months out of the year she shall have all she likes to eat, and all the gowns she likes to get, and all the company she likes to keep; but the last month of the year she'll have to spin five skeins every day, and if she don't I shall kill her.”

Who acts: you, daughter, gowns, company, last month, I · What happens: look, say, have, like, eat, get · To what, where: you, king, all, five skeins, daughter · Speech: someone speaks here
