The Green Fairy Book, Little One-eye, Little Two-eyes, and Little Three-eyes, sentence 19

But Little Two-eyes thought, ‘I must try at once if what she has told me is true, for I am more hungry than ever’; and she said,

Who acts: I, woman, me · What happens: think, try, tell, be, say · To what, where: Little · Speech: someone speaks here
