The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 1, sentence 16

The Queen could not imagine how her step-daughter could look so well on such bad food, so she ordered one of her handmaidens to follow her into the wood and watch her, and see how it was, for she thought that some of the servants must be giving her food.

Who acts: Queen, step daughter, daughter, one, food, some · What happens: not imagine, look, order, follow, watch, see · To what, where: one, Queen, wood, food
