A request is not a completed event

Nu gah hen nah Mamsell Westphalen un lat di en Appel gewen. A class reads this public-domain Reuter instruction and compares two responses. One student says that the speaker directs the listener to approach Mamsell Westphalen and obtain an apple. Another says the sentence proves that the listener has already eaten the apple and returned home. The teacher asks them to distinguish an instruction from a narrated outcome. No later sentence is supplied in this exercise. Students may use an appropriate dictionary to clarify a form, but should not add a later event from imagination. The task is historical Low German reading in bilingual guided mode, not a current school announcement or an official examination item. They must explain the actual evidence before attempting their own complete Low German response.
