The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 33, sentence 38

All I can tell you is that not far from here is a tower, where dwells an old witch, and it is she who knows the way, and she will only teach it to the person who promises to bring her the water from the fountain of many colours, which she uses for her enchantments.

Who acts: I, All, tower, castle, person · What happens: tell, be, dwell, teach, promise, bring · To what, where: you, tower, old witch, person, water, castle · Speech: someone speaks here
