Grimms' Fairy Tales, Iron Hans, sentence 161
And his daughter was also shocked, but hoped the king would soon give up such thoughts; so she said to him, ‘Before I marry anyone I must have three dresses: one must be of gold, like the sun; another must be of shining silver, like the moon; and a third must be dazzling as the stars: besides this, I want a mantle of a thousand different kinds of fur put together, to which every beast in the kingdom must give a part of his skin.’
Who acts: daughter, king, I, one, third, beast · What happens: be, hope, give up, say, marry, have · To what, where: such thoughts, best, anyone, three dresses, mantle, thousand different kinds · Speech: someone speaks here
