Celtic Fairy Tales, The Battle of the Birds, sentence 234

When the shoemaker's wife reached the well, and when she saw the shadow of her that was in the tree, thinking it was her own shadow--and she never thought till now that she was so handsome--she gave a cast to the dish that was in her hand, and it was broken on the ground, and she took herself to the house without vessel or water.

Who acts: wife, that, well, dish · What happens: reach, see, be, think, not think, give · To what, where: well, shadow, own shadow, cast, dish, hand · Speech: someone speaks here
