The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 3, sentence 62
‘Now, as you know,’ said Minnikin, ‘we are so like each other that no one can tell one of us from the other; so just change clothes with me and go up to the palace, and then the Princesses will think that I am coming in, and the one who kisses you first shall be yours, and I will have the other.’
Who acts: you, Minnikin, one, Princesses, I · What happens: know, say, tell, change, go up, think · To what, where: one, other, clothes, you, yours · Speech: someone speaks here
