The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 34, sentence 28

As he came back, after prayers, if he met any friend who said “Good-day,” or “How are you, friend Labakan?” he would wave his hand graciously or nod in a condescending way; and if his master happened to say to him, as he sometimes did, “Really, Labakan, you look like a prince,” he was delighted, and would answer, “Have you noticed it too?” or “Well, so I have long thought.”

Who acts: Labakan, friend, you, master, fellow workmen · What happens: come back, meet, say, be, wave, happen · To what, where: friend, Labakan, hand, master · Speech: someone speaks here
