The king was delighted to see his son, and had a great many questions to ask and answer; but when he heard that instead of quietly waiting for him at home the prince was starting off to seek a wife he was very angry, and said: “You may go where you please but I will not leave any of my people with you.”

Who acts: king, prince, You · What happens: be, see, have, ask, answer, hear · To what, where: son, great many questions, that, home, wife, any · Speech: someone speaks here
