The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 12, sentence 40

It is needless to say that for some days he took no more apples back to the palace, but kept well away on the other side of the town, wearing other clothes, and disguised by a long black beard, so that even his own mother would not have known him.

Who acts: It, Tiidu · What happens: be, say, take, keep, wear, disguise · To what, where: that, more apples, palace, other side, other clothes, own mother · Speech: someone speaks here
