The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 8, sentence 22

When he told them what he had done they shouted for joy, and carried him back in triumph to the palace; and the king declared that as the youth had shown himself worthy to become his son-in-law, he should marry the princess and succeed to the throne at once, as he himself was getting old, and the cares of government were too much for him.

Who acts: youth, lads, king, cares, government · What happens: tell, do, shout, carry back, declare, show · To what, where: lads, youth, triumph, that, son, princess · Speech: someone speaks here
