The Blue Fairy Book, Prince Darling, sentence 23

“You are quite right,” answered the Fairy; “but it is not in my power to make Prince Darling a good man unless he will help me; he must himself try hard to become good, I can only promise to give him good advice, to scold him for his faults, and to punish him if he will not correct and punish himself.”

Who acts: You, Fairy, dress, Darling, good King · What happens: be, answer, not be, make, help, try · To what, where: power, Prince Darling, good King, good advice, Darling · Speech: someone speaks here
