The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 54

So the armies on both sides went rejoicing home, and this was really the making of the fortune of clumsy Moti, who lived long and contrived always to be looked up to as a fountain of wisdom, valour, and discretion by all except his relations, who could never understand what he had done to be considered so much wiser than anyone else.

Who acts: armies, this, fortune, relations, Moti · What happens: go, rejoice, be, live, contrive, look up · To what, where: making, discretion · Speech: someone speaks here
