The Red Fairy Book, The Three Princesses of Whiteland, sentence 15

Then the first of them will call you—she is the eldest—and will beg you very prettily to come to her and help her, and the second will do the same, but you must not go near either of them.

Who acts: first, second, you · What happens: call, be, beg, come, help, do · To what, where: you, first, same, either · Speech: someone speaks here
