The Red Fairy Book, The Three Dwarfs, part 2, sentence 53
But the other people in the palace had again stirred up the King, and he answered that the youth should have her, and that he had never intended that he should not; but first of all he must get her quite as good a horse to ride to the wedding on as that which he had himself.
Who acts: King, youth, all · What happens: stir up, answer, have, not intend, get, ride on · To what, where: other people, sun, youth, good horse, wedding · Speech: someone speaks here
