Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Goose-girl, sentence 3
Then the queen, her mother, packed up a great many costly things--jewels, and gold, and silver, trinkets, fine dresses, and in short, everything that became a royal bride; for she loved her child very dearly; and she gave her a waiting-maid to ride with her, and give her into the bridegroom's hands; and each had a horse for the journey.
Who acts: mother, queen · What happens: pack up, become, love, give, ride, have · To what, where: great many costly things, royal bride, child, waiting maid, queen, hands
