Grimms' Fairy Tales, Sweetheart Roland, sentence 158
And when she got there, and saw that it was no other than Snowdrop, who, as she thought, had been dead a long while, she choked with rage, and fell down and died: but Snowdrop and the prince lived and reigned happily over that land many, many years; and sometimes they went up into the mountains, and paid a visit to the little dwarfs, who had been so kind to Snowdrop in her time of need.
Who acts: queen, envy, Snowdrop, rage, little dwarfs · What happens: get, see, be, think, choke, fall down · To what, where: land, mountains, visit, Snowdrop
