The Red Fairy Book, Princess Rosette, sentence 48

Then she began to cry, but the King kissed her and told her to dry her tears, as that was just what they had come for, to take her out of the tower and bring her to their beautiful castle, and the Prince showed her the pocketful of sugar plums he had brought for her, and said:

Who acts: hand, King, that, Prince · What happens: begin, cry, kiss, tell, dry, be · To what, where: hand, tears, tower, beautiful castle, pocketful, sugar plums · Speech: someone speaks here
