The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 2, sentence 46

‘If you are always as kind and persevering and easily contented as you are now you may hope to accomplish the most difficult tasks; go on your way and have no fear that you will be troubled any more for lack of gold, for that little piece which you modestly chose shall never grow less, use it as much as you will.

Who acts: you, little piece · What happens: be, persevere, content, accomplish, go, have · To what, where: difficult tasks, way, fear, you, little piece, gold
