The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 1, sentence 22

“Pivi and Kabo” is translated by the Editor from a French version; “Asmund and Signy” by Miss Blackley; the Indian stories by Major Campbell, and all the rest are told by Mrs. Lang, who does not give them exactly as they are told by all sorts of outlandish natives, but makes them up in the hope white people will like them, skipping the pieces which they will not like.

Who acts: Editor, Mrs., sorts, white people, people · What happens: translate, tell, not give, make up, like, skip · To what, where: Pivi, rest, hope, pieces, outlandish natives · Speech: someone speaks here
