The Red Fairy Book, Graciosa and Percinet, part 2, sentence 86

But, as soon as she entered, Graciosa presented her with the ball of thread in perfect order, so that she had no fault to find, and could only pretend to discover that it was soiled, for which imaginary fault she gave Graciosa a blow on each cheek, that made her white and pink skin turn green and yellow.

Who acts: minx, Graciosa, that, white skin · What happens: enter, present, have, find, pretend, discover · To what, where: minx, perfect order, fault, blow, Graciosa, cheek
