The Brown Fairy Book, Story of Wali Dâd the Simple-Hearted, part 2, sentence 25

A great stretch of wild jungle country had, in the night, been changed into parks and gardens; and if it had not been for some of Wali Dâd’s new servants, who found him and brought him to the palace, he would have fled away under the impression that his trouble had sent him crazy, and that all he saw was only imagination.

Who acts: great stretch, new servants, impression, Dâd, all · What happens: have, change, find, bring, flee away, send · To what, where: night, parks, Dâd, palace, some, impression
