The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 25, sentence 9

The next day the old dame who looked after the house handed her all the keys, but pointed her out one that she would do well never to use, for if she did the whole palace would fall to the ground, and the grass would grow over it, and the damsel herself would be remembered no more.

Who acts: old dame, one, whole palace, grass · What happens: look, hand, point out, not use, fall, grow · To what, where: keys, maiden, palace, damsel
