Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Water of Life, sentence 64

Meanwhile the Princess had caused a road to be made up to her castle of pure shining gold, and she told her attendants that whoever should ride straight up this road would be the right person, and one whom they might admit into the castle; but, on the contrary, whoever should ride up not on the road, but by the side, they were ordered on no account to admit, for he was not the right person.

Who acts: Princess, whoever, road, attendants, side, King · What happens: cause, make up, shine, tell, ride, be · To what, where: road, attendants, right person, castle, contrary, account · Speech: someone speaks here
