The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 2, sentence 43

At first he thought he was going into a dark, obscure place, but presently a quite different light succeeded that which he came out of, and, entering into a large, spacious place, at about fifty or sixty paces distant, he perceived a magnificent palace, which he had not then time enough to look at.

Who acts: Prince, quite different light · What happens: think, go, succeed, come out, enter, perceive · To what, where: dark obscure place, large spacious place, magnificent palace · Speech: someone speaks here
