The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 3, sentence 60
‘First have I won one Princess and half the kingdom, and then the other Princess and the other half of the kingdom; and now, when I was just thinking that I would give you one of the Princesses and one of the halves of the kingdom, do you think you have any reason to give me such a blow?’
Who acts: I, you · What happens: have, win, think, give · To what, where: one Princess, one, you, reason, blow, me · Speech: someone speaks here
