The Blue Fairy Book, The Princess on the Glass Hill, sentence 114
So there was a wedding, and Cinderlad got the King’s daughter, and everyone made merry at the wedding, for all of them could make merry, though they could not ride up the glass hill, and if they have not left off their merry-making they must be at it still.
Who acts: wedding, Cinderlad, everyone, all, apples · What happens: be, get, make, not ride up, not leave off · To what, where: daughter, wedding, glass hill, rags
