The Blue Fairy Book, Felicia and the Pot of Pinks, sentence 39

“I came to fetch a pitcher of water for my pinks, madam,” she answered, stooping to pick up the pitcher which stood beside her; but when she showed it to the Queen she was amazed to see that it had turned to gold, all sparkling with great diamonds, and the water, of which it was full, was more fragrant than the sweetest roses.

Who acts: Queen, pitcher, all, water · What happens: come, fetch, answer, stoop, pick up, stand · To what, where: pitcher, Queen, gold · Speech: someone speaks here
