Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Miser in the Bush, sentence 113

Then her kind friend the bird brought a dress still finer than the former one, and slippers which were all of gold: so that when she came to the feast no one knew what to say, for wonder at her beauty: and the king’s son danced with nobody but her; and when anyone else asked her to dance, he said, ‘This lady is _my_ partner, sir.’

Who acts: kind friend, slippers, bird, one, son, anyone · What happens: bring, be, come, know, say, dance · To what, where: dress, wonder, beauty, bird, partner · Speech: someone speaks here
