The Book of Dragons, The Fiery Dragon], sentence 11

But when her father and mother had died, leaving her cousin to take care of the kingdom till she grew up, he, being a very evil Prince, took everything away from her, and all the people followed him, and now nothing was left her of all her possessions except the great dragon proof tower that her grandfather, St. George, had built, and of all who should have been her servants only the good nurse.

Who acts: father, cousin, Princess, whirlpool, people · What happens: die, leave, take, grow up, be, take away · To what, where: cousin, care, evil Prince, everything, whirlpool, nothing
