The Yellow Fairy Book, The Glass Mountain(16), part 4, sentence 72
Morning had hardly dawned when the Fairy awoke the Prince, and giving him the glass axe again she told him to cut up all the wood he had felled the day before, and to put it in bundles ready for firewood; at the same time she warned him once more against approaching or speaking a word to the black girl if he met her in the wood.
Who acts: Fairy, Prince · What happens: dawn, awake, give, tell, cut up, fell · To what, where: Morning, Prince, glass axe, wood, AXE, bundles · Speech: someone speaks here
