The Brown Fairy Book, Story Of The King Who Would Be Stronger Than Fate, sentence 16

That troubled him a good deal, but he never worried over what he could not help, so he got down from his horse, slipped his arm through the bridle, and led the animal along the rough path in hopes of discovering some shepherd’s hut, or, at least, a cave or shelter under some rock, where he might pass the night.

Who acts: That, king, hopes · What happens: trouble, not worry, not help, get down, slip, lead · To what, where: king, arm, bridle, animal, rough path, hut
