The next morning the maiden asked him whether he would not like to stay with her always in this beautiful place, and as he did not answer immediately, she continued: ‘You see how I always remain young and beautiful, and I am under no one’s orders, but can do just what I like, so that I have never thought of marrying before.

Who acts: maiden, foot, You, I · What happens: ask, not like, stay, not answer, continue, see · To what, where: foot, orders · Speech: someone speaks here
