More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 4, sentence 102

His one son he called by his own name, Thomas Hickathrift, and he put him to good learning, but the lad was none of the wisest, and indeed seemed to be somewhat soft, so he got no good at all from his teaching.

Who acts: one son, son, lad, man · What happens: call, put, be, seem, get, name · To what, where: man, good · Speech: someone speaks here
