The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 2, sentence 55

The only thing that I have to add is, that you seemed to me worthy of a more happy fate than that of possessing the Princess Nouronnihar; and, that you might attain to it, I was present when you drew your arrow, and foresaw it would not go beyond Prince Houssain’s.

Who acts: I, only thing, you, thing · What happens: have, add, be, possess, attain, draw · To what, where: only thing, me, Princess Nouronnihar, thing, arrow, Houssain
