Grimms' Fairy Tales, Old Sultan, sentence 5

Poor Sultan, who was lying close by them, heard all that the shepherd and his wife said to one another, and was very much frightened to think tomorrow would be his last day; so in the evening he went to his good friend the wolf, who lived in the wood, and told him all his sorrows, and how his master meant to kill him in the morning.

Who acts: Poor Sultan, shepherd, tomorrow, wolf, master · What happens: lie, hear, say, frighten, think, be · To what, where: one, last day, wolf, wood, sorrows, shepherd · Speech: someone speaks here
