The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 65

But Moti declared that he had got the animal in exchange for fifty pieces of silver, whilst the horse merchants vowed that the money they had on them was what they had received for the sale of other horses; and in one way and another the dispute got so confusing that the king (who really thought that Moti had stolen the horse) said at last, ‘Well, I tell you what I will do.

Who acts: Moti, horse merchants, merchants, money, king, I · What happens: declare, get, vow, have, be, receive · To what, where: animal, exchange, money, one way, Moti, last · Speech: someone speaks here
