The Red Fairy Book, The Golden Branch, part 1, sentence 7

King Grumpy, who cared a great deal more for his own grandeur than for his son’s happiness, wished to betroth the Prince to the daughter of a neighbouring King, whose great estates joined his own, for he thought that this alliance would make him more powerful than ever, and as for the Princess she would do very well for Prince Curlicue, for she was as ugly as himself.

Who acts: King, great estates, alliance · What happens: care, wish, betroth, neighbour, join, think · To what, where: great deal, happiness, Prince, daughter, King, own · Speech: someone speaks here
