The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 11, sentence 13

Any other man in Tiidu’s place would have been contented and happy in this life; but his craving for riches gave him no rest, and only goaded him day by day to fresh exertions, so that even his own mother would not have known him for the lazy boy who was always lying asleep in one place or the other.

Who acts: craving, lazy boy, Tiidu · What happens: content, give, goad, not know, lie, crave · To what, where: other man, life, rest, Tiidu, own mother, one place
