The Green Fairy Book, The Dirty Shepherdess, sentence 39

The King’s son declared that he would fulfil his promise, and when his parents mildly remarked that the girl was only a keeper of sheep, and a very ugly one too, the maiden boldly said that she was born a princess, and that, if they would only give her some water and leave her alone in a room for a few minutes, she would show that she could look as well as anyone in fine clothes.

Who acts: son, parents, girl, King · What happens: declare, fulfil, remark, be, say, bear · To what, where: that, promise, keeper, girl, water, room · Speech: someone speaks here
