The Red Fairy Book, The Princess Mayblossom, part 1, sentence 21

One promised that she should be perfectly beautiful, the second that she should understand anything—no matter what—the first time it was explained to her, the third that she should sing like a nightingale, the fourth that she should succeed in everything she undertook, and the fifth was opening her mouth to speak when a tremendous rumbling was heard in the chimney, and Carabosse, all covered with soot, came rolling down, crying:

Who acts: One, Queen, fifth · What happens: promise, be, understand, explain, sing, succeed · To what, where: anything, five, Queen, everything, mouth, tremendous rumbling · Speech: someone speaks here
