Grimm's Fairy Stories, Faithful John, sentence 7
After my death you must show him all the chambers, halls, and vaults in the castle, and all the treasures which are in them; but the last room in the long corridor you must not show him, for in it hangs the portrait of the daughter of the King of the Golden Palace; if he sees her picture, he will conceive a great love for her, and will fall down in a swoon, and on her account undergo great perils, therefore you must keep him away."
Who acts: you, treasures, last room, King, my, her · What happens: show, be, not show, hang, see, conceive · To what, where: chambers, King, portrait, room, picture, great love
