The Green Fairy Book, The Dirty Shepherdess, sentence 10

She walked straight along the road in front of her, without knowing very well where she was going or what was to become of her, for she had never been shown how to work, and all she had learnt consisted of a few household rules, and receipts of dishes which her mother had taught her long ago.

Who acts: Princess · What happens: walk, know, go, become, not show, work · To what, where: road, Princess, all, receipts
