The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 83

Now the king knew nothing about fruits except that they were good to eat; and, as for seasons, he asked for whatever fruit he wanted whenever he wanted it, and saw that he got it; so to him Moti’s guess was like a miracle, and clear proof not only of his wisdom but of his innocence, for it was a pomegranate that he had put into the box.

Who acts: king, fruit, guess, riddle, proof, Moti · What happens: know, be, eat, ask, want, see · To what, where: nothing, fruits, whatever, fruit, riddle, king · Speech: someone speaks here
