The Green Fairy Book, The Enchanted Snake, sentence 18

But when Cola-Mattheo came next day, and, in the name of the snake, demanded the hand of the Princess, the King replied, ‘Don’t be in such a hurry; if the snake really wants to marry my daughter, he must do some more things first, and one of these is to turn all the paths and walls of my garden into pure gold before noon to-morrow.’

Who acts: Cola, name, King, snake, one · What happens: come, demand, reply, not be, want, marry · To what, where: hand, Princess, hurry, daughter, more things, pure gold
