The Red Fairy Book, Kari Woodengown, part 2, sentence 93

Now the King of the country, who was very extravagant and never kept any money, having heard that Drakestail had some, went one day in his own person to borrow his hoard, and, my word, in those days Drakestail was not a little proud of having lent money to the King.

Who acts: King, Drakestail, my · What happens: be, not keep, have, hear, go, borrow · To what, where: money, some, hoard, days, lent money
