The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 4, sentence 78

As soon as the jogi got back from this deed he called two of his pupils, and pretended that it had been revealed to him that there should be found floating on the river a chest with something of great price within it; and he bade them go and watch for it at such a place far down the stream, and when the chest came slowly along, bobbing and turning in the tide, they were to seize it and secretly and swiftly bring it to him, for he was now determined to put the princess to death himself.

Who acts: jogi, king, chest, air · What happens: get back, call, pretend, reveal, find, float · To what, where: deed, Jogi, king, river, air, place · Speech: someone speaks here
