The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 31
So the Prince grew up healthy and strong, leading the simple life of a young peasant, for the Fairy thought that he could have no better training; only as he grew older she kept him more and more with herself, that his mind might be cultivated and exercised as well as his body.
Who acts: Prince, Fairy, Meantime · What happens: grow up, lead, think, have, grow, keep · To what, where: simple life, better training, Prince, mind · Speech: someone speaks here
