The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 1, sentence 3

For a long time the King went sorrowing for his wife, for he had loved her exceedingly; but at last he grew tired of living alone, and married a Queen who was a widow, and she also had a daughter, who was just as ill-favoured and wicked as the other was good and beautiful.

Who acts: King, Queen, daughter · What happens: go, sorrow, love, grow, live, marry · To what, where: wife, last, Queen, widow, daughter
