The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 55

The Prince had forgotten all about meeting his brothers: he did not even know what country he belonged to; but the White Cat knew when he ought to go back, and one day she said to him:

Who acts: Prince, party, White Cat, kind · What happens: forget, meet, not know, country, belong, know · To what, where: brothers, country, party · Speech: someone speaks here
