"This is the way it used to be: here was my place and over there was the trough, which was always filled with oats and water," explained the goosey-gander.

With that he rushed to the trough and began to gobble up the oats.

Next to the fireplace was an oven, and in close proximity to this an enormous bedstead, on which the villain, his wife, his children, and even the stranger who asked for hospitality, could all be easily accommodated; a kneading trough, a table, a bench, a cheese cupboard, a jug, and a few baskets made up the rest of the furniture.
