The Yellow Fairy Book, The Swineherd, sentence 76

The Swineherd--that is to say, the Prince (though they did not know he was anything but a true Swineherd)--let no day pass without making something, and one day he made a rattle which, when it was turned round, played all the waltzes, galops, and polkas which had ever been known since the world began.

Who acts: that, ladies, Swineherd, waltzes, polkas · What happens: be, not know, let, make, turn round, play · To what, where: anything, day pass, something, rattle, waltzes, polkas
