The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 37, sentence 38

The young man rode a long way without meeting a single creature, but at last he saw a youth in the distance about the same age as himself, and he spurred his horse till he came up with the stranger, who stopped and asked:

Who acts: young man, man, stranger · What happens: ride, meet, see, spur, come up, stop · To what, where: long way, single creature, youth, last, horse
