The Blue Fairy Book, The Bronze Ring, sentence 27

The King followed this advice, and the minister’s son was presented with a splendid horse and a purse full of gold pieces, while the gardener’s son had only an old lame horse and a purse full of copper money, and every one thought he would never come back from his journey.

Who acts: King, son, one · What happens: follow, present, have, think, not come back, journey · To what, where: advice, son, old lame horse, journey · Speech: someone speaks here
