The Red Fairy Book, The Three Dwarfs, part 3, sentence 19

‘No,’ said the King; ‘that I cannot tell thee, and as thou hast procured such a splendid bridal horse for my daughter thou shalt have her; but first we must have one more trial, just to see if thou art fated to have her.

Who acts: King, I, thou, we · What happens: say, not tell, have, procure, see · To what, where: thee, splendid bridal horse, horse, one more trial · Speech: someone speaks here
