The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 3, sentence 99

As to the wicked Dwarf, he preferred to see the Princess dead rather than married to the King of the Gold Mines; and the Fairy of the Desert, when she heard of the King’s adventures, pulled down the grand monument which she had built, and was so angry at the trick that had been played her that she hated him as much as she had loved him before.

Who acts: power, Fairy, adventures, King · What happens: prefer, see, marry, hear, pull down, build · To what, where: dead, grand monument, trick, Princess, power
