The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 1, sentence 50

Before the Bull went into the wood, he said to the King’s daughter: ‘When we enter into this wood you must, for Heaven’s sake, be very careful not to touch anything at all, and not to pluck off even so much as one leaf, or else all will be over both with you and with me.

Who acts: Bull, we · What happens: go, say, enter, be, not touch, not pluck off · To what, where: wood, anything, all, much · Speech: someone speaks here
