The Green Fairy Book, Allerleirauh; Or, the Many-furred Creature, sentence 15
The King, however, was not to be turned from his purpose, and he commanded the most skilled maidens in his kingdom to weave the three dresses, one as golden as the sun, and one as silver as the moon, and one as shining as the stars; and he gave orders to all his huntsmen to catch one of every kind of beast in the kingdom, and to get a bit of its skin to make the cloak of a thousand pieces of fur.
Who acts: King, one · What happens: not turn, command, weave, shine, give, catch · To what, where: King, purpose, skilled maidens, kingdom, three dresses, orders · Speech: someone speaks here
