The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 20, sentence 66

The first person that came with a scheme was an old soldier who promised the king that if he would only put some bread and bacon and a flask of wine on the bank of the stream, the gold-bearded man would be sure to eat and drink, and they could shake some powder into the wine, which would send him to sleep at once.

Who acts: first person, old soldier, king, bearded man, bread · What happens: come, be, promise, put, eat, drink · To what, where: old soldier, king, bank, bread, powder, wine
