The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 20, sentence 107

Now, in the days that the king, his father, was alive, and he had everything to eat he could possibly wish for, the prince always had wild duck for his birthday dinner, so he quickly fitted an arrow to his bow and took a careful aim.

Who acts: that, king, everything, prince, duck · What happens: be, have, eat, wish, fit, take · To what, where: everything, wild duck, arrow, bow, careful aim
