The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 25, sentence 49

As for me, I was so miserable that I threw myself into the sea, and my ladies, who loved me, declared that they would die too; but, instead of dying, some wizard, who pitied my fate, turned us all into fishes, though he allowed me to keep the face and body of a woman.

Who acts: I, ladies, giant, my · What happens: be, throw, love, declare, die, pity · To what, where: myself, sea, me, fate, us, face
