The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 3, sentence 48

The next morning Prince Ahmed went out, as usual, at the iron gate, with the same attendants as before, and passed by the magician, whom he knew not to be such, and, seeing her lie with her head against the rock, and complaining as if she were in great pain, he pitied her, turned his horse about, went to her, and asked her what was the matter with her, and what he could do to ease her.

Who acts: Prince Ahmed, Ahmed, Fairy · What happens: go out, pass, know, not be, see, complain · To what, where: iron gate, magician, lie, great pain, Fairy, horse · Speech: someone speaks here
