The Green Fairy Book, Prince Featherhead and the Princess Celandine, sentence 138

‘We will have one between us,’ continued the old dame; ‘and as you are the visitor, you shall have the half which contains the stone; but be very careful that you don’t swallow it, for I keep them against the winter, and you have no idea what a good fire they make.

Who acts: We, you, half, I, plums · What happens: have, continue, be, contain, not swallow, keep · To what, where: one, old dame, visitor, half, stone, plums
