Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Wild Swans, part 1, sentence 53

As soon as Eliza saw her own face, she was quite terrified at finding it so brown and ugly; but when she wetted her little hand, and rubbed her eyes and forehead, the white skin gleamed forth once more; and, after she had undressed, and dipped herself in the fresh water, a more beautiful king's daughter could not be found in the wide world.

Who acts: Eliza, bush · What happens: see, be, find, wett, rub, gleam · To what, where: own face, face, little hand, eyes, white skin, bush
