The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 4, sentence 47

I am informed that the Fairy, your spouse, makes use of a certain water, called the Water of the Fountain of Lions, which cures all sorts of fevers, even the most dangerous, and, as I am perfectly well persuaded my health is dear to you, I don’t doubt but you will ask her for a bottle of that water for me, and bring it me as a sovereign medicine, which I may make use of when I have occasion.

Who acts: Fairy, Water, I, health, you, sovereign medicine · What happens: inform, make, call, cure, persuade, be · To what, where: I, use, certain water, sorts, you, horse · Speech: someone speaks here
