The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 74

The Prince did not know what had become of her, so he travelled for a long and wearisome time all over the world, asking where Combland was; but when no one could tell him where that country was, he caused it to be made known everywhere that he would marry any woman who could put on the gold shoe.

Who acts: Prince, Combland, one, country, woman · What happens: not know, become, travel, ask, be, tell · To what, where: world, Prince, woman, gold shoe · Speech: someone speaks here
