The Blue Fairy Book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, sentence 136

This she will consent to do, for she does not know that it is you who let them fall on it; but no one can wash them out but one born of Christian folk: it cannot be done by one of a pack of trolls; and then I will say that no one shall ever be my bride but the woman who can do this, and I know that you can.”

Who acts: This, bride, shirt, you, windows, one · What happens: consent, do, not know, be, let, fall · To what, where: you, windows, shirt, one, bride, this · Speech: someone speaks here
