Celtic Fairy Tales, Hudden and Dudden and Donald O'neary, sentence 6

You would think there was little here to make Hudden and Dudden jealous, but so it is, the more one has the more one wants, and Donald's neighbours lay awake of nights scheming how they might get hold of his little strip of grass-land.

Who acts: You, hovel, more one, neighbours · What happens: think, be, make, have, want, lie · To what, where: Hudden, hold, little strip · Speech: someone speaks here
