Her two sisters, meanwhile, were very jealous when Two-Eyes was carried off by the Knight; but they consoled themselves by saying, "The wonderful tree remains still for us; and even if we cannot get at the fruit, everybody that passes will stop to look at it, and then come and praise it to us.
Who acts: two sisters, Knight, clothes, we, fruit · What happens: be, carry off, console, say, not get, pass · To what, where: Two Eyes, clothes, wonderful tree remains, fruit, wedding, us · Speech: someone speaks here
