The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 23, sentence 100

King of the waters, far and near, I ask not of thy golden store, I wish not jewels of pearl to wear, Nor silver either, ask I for, But one is odd and even is two, So give me a cow, sea-king so bold, And in return I’ll give to you A slice of the moon, and the sun’s gold.

Who acts: King, I, one · What happens: not ask, not wish, wear, ask, be, give · To what, where: jewels, Nor silver, two, cow, me, slice · Speech: someone speaks here
