The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 4, sentence 28

Consider then, I conjure you, that it is not I, but the Sultan my father, who indiscreetly, or at least I think so, begs of you a pavilion large enough to shelter him, his Court, and army from the violence of the weather, and which a man may carry in his hand.

Who acts: you, I, favor, Sultan father, man · What happens: consider, conjure, not be, think, beg, shelter · To what, where: you, I, least, pavilion, Prince, hand
