Folk tales from Tibet, The Story of the Foolish Young Mussulman., sentence 41

The Mother, when she found what was up, was afraid that he would attract the attention of the neighbours to the loss of the purse, and that in the excitement some one else would chase the dog and get the money; so hastily running up on to the flat roof of the house she sprinkled some sugar over the roof, and then called to the Boy to come up as quickly as he could.

Who acts: Mother, Boy, one, dog, neighbours · What happens: find, be, attract, chase, get, run up · To what, where: that, excitement, attention, dog, money, flat roof · Speech: someone speaks here
