The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 1, sentence 22

After Prince Houssain had run through that division, street by street, his thoughts fully employed on the riches he had seen, he was very much tired, which a merchant perceiving, civilly invited him to sit down in his shop, and he accepted; but had not been sat down long before he saw a crier pass by with a piece of tapestry on his arm, about six feet square, and cried at thirty purses.

Who acts: air, merchant, Houssain · What happens: run, employ, see, be, perceive, invite · To what, where: division, thoughts, riches, air, shop, crier pass
