The Brown Fairy Book, Story of Wali Dâd the Simple-Hearted, part 1, sentence 68

The moment the king of Khaistan saw the gorgeous train of men and beasts entering his palace courtyard, he was so amazed that he hurried down in person to inquire about it, and became dumb when he heard that these also were a present from the princely Wali Dâd, and were for the princess, his daughter.

Who acts: moment, beasts, king, these · What happens: see, enter, be, hurry down, inquire, become · To what, where: gorgeous train, palace courtyard, present, princely Wali · Speech: someone speaks here
