The Brown Fairy Book, Story of Wali Dâd the Simple-Hearted, part 2, sentence 33

But Wali Dâd, after thanking him very much for the compliment, said that he had never dreamed of so great an honour, and that he was far too old and ugly for so fair a lady; but he begged the king to stay with him until he could send for the Prince of Nekabad, who was a most excellent, brave, and honourable young man, and would surely be delighted to try to win the hand of the beautiful princess.

Who acts: Wali, honour, honourable young man, king, Prince · What happens: thank, say, not dream, be, beg, stay · To what, where: Wali, honourable young man, king, hand · Speech: someone speaks here
