The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Had Reserved For Himself"], sentence 7

The noise of this change spreading every where, all the young Princes of the neighbouring kingdoms strove all they could to gain her favour, and almost all of them asked her in marriage; but she found not one of them had wit enough for her, and she gave them all a hearing, but would not engage herself to any.

Who acts: noise, all, change · What happens: spread, strive, gain, ask, not find, wit · To what, where: favour, noise, marriage, one, hearing, Princes
