The Red Fairy Book, The Golden Branch, part 1, sentence 32

One day, as the Prince was walking up and down the great gallery, thinking how miserable it was to be so ugly, and to be forced to marry an equally frightful Princess, he looked up suddenly and noticed that the painted windows were particularly bright and beautiful, and for the sake of doing something that would change his sad thoughts he began to examine them attentively.

Who acts: One day, prince, painted windows, sake · What happens: walk up, think, be, force, marry, look up · To what, where: frightful Princess, something, sad thoughts, thoughts · Speech: someone speaks here
