The Yellow Fairy Book, The Glass Mountain(16), part 4, sentence 69

She was much amazed when she heard that all the wood was cut down, and saw the axe unbroken in his hand, and since she could not believe that he had done all this by himself, she questioned him narrowly if he had seen or spoken to the black girl.

Who acts: Fairy, Prince · What happens: be, hear, cut down, see, not believe, do · To what, where: wood, axe, this, Prince · Speech: someone speaks here
