The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 3, sentence 52

But after that day when the Princess said she meant to marry Tom, the gardener's boy thought it over, and he decided that the best prize in the world would be the Princess, and this was the prize Tom meant to take; and when you are a gardener's son and have decided to marry a Princess, you will find that the more you learn at school the better.

Who acts: Princess, Rotundia, boy, best prize, this, Tom · What happens: say, mean, marry, think, decide, be · To what, where: Tom, prize, Princess, son, school · Speech: someone speaks here
