The Yellow Fairy Book, The Magic Ring, sentence 56
But first you must follow me boldly into my Father’s Kingdom, underneath the earth; and when we get there, remember this--he will offer you gold and silver, and dazzling gems, but do not touch them.
Who acts: you, we, Kingdom · What happens: follow, get, remember, offer, dazzle, not touch · To what, where: me, earth, this, gold, you
