The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 2, sentence 105

His wife was too astonished at all these wonders to ask any questions, but his daughter Shasasa kept begging him to tell her how he had suddenly become so great; so at last he revealed the whole secret, and even entrusted Sipao the Mirror to her care, saying:

Who acts: wife, daughter, Gopani · What happens: be, ask, keep, beg, tell, become · To what, where: wonders, questions, Gopani, daughter, whole secret, last · Speech: someone speaks here
