The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 2, sentence 23

Therefore, as neither tapestry, ivory perspective glass, nor artificial apple have the least preference one before the other, but, on the contrary, there’s a perfect equality, I cannot grant the Princess to any one of you; and the only fruit you have reaped from your travels is the glory of having equally contributed to restore her health.

Who acts: I, you, only fruit, glory · What happens: have, not grant, reap, travel, be, contribute · To what, where: least preference, Princess, one, only fruit, glory, health
