The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Towards Her"], sentence 40

The special qualities of this rare animal deserved the distinction, since nature had made it in so extraordinary a way that its litter, instead of being like that of other donkeys, was covered every morning with an abundance of beautiful golden crowns, and golden louis of every kind, which were collected daily.

Who acts: special qualities, extraordinary way · What happens: deserve, make, be, cover, collect · To what, where: distinction, nature, extraordinary way, litter, golden louis
