Grimms' Fairy Tales, Briar Rose, sentence 14

Then the twelfth of the friendly fairies, who had not yet given her gift, came forward, and said that the evil wish must be fulfilled, but that she could soften its mischief; so her gift was, that the king’s daughter, when the spindle wounded her, should not really die, but should only fall asleep for a hundred years.

Who acts: twelfth, queen, gift, spindle · What happens: not give, come forward, say, fulfil, soften, be · To what, where: friendly fairies, evil wish, mischief, daughter, queen · Speech: someone speaks here
