The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 4, sentence 25

I find you don’t know the power a husband has over a wife; and yours would show that her love to you was very indifferent if she, with the power she has of a fairy, should refuse you so trifling a request as this I desire you to ask of her for my sake.”

Who acts: I, you, husband, yours, love, wife · What happens: find, not know, have, show, be, refuse · To what, where: power, you, request · Speech: someone speaks here
