The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 6, sentence 104

The princess went to meet her father, fell on his neck and kissed him, but with that she said, ‘O father, father! what have you done now? to-morrow I must die, and you must choose one of three things: either the land must be smitten with the black pestilence, or you must have a long and bloody war, or you must as soon as I am dead, lay me in a plain wooden chest, and set it in the church, and for a whole year place a sentinel beside it every night.’

Who acts: princess, you, I · What happens: go, meet, fall, kiss, say, do · To what, where: father, neck, tuft, morrow, one, land · Speech: someone speaks here
