The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 13, sentence 104

The girl had heard how he had saved her master’s life, so she said nothing more about his running away, but instead told him that if the magician offered him the choice of a reward, he was to ask for the horse which stood in the third stall of the stable.

Who acts: girl, magician, horse · What happens: hear, save, say, run away, tell, offer · To what, where: life, nothing, magician, choice, boy, third stall · Speech: someone speaks here
