The Red Fairy Book, Mother Holle, part 3, sentence 54

One day when he was walking about and thinking of this, it came into his mind that if he only had his brother, King Pippin, with him, who was so like himself that no one could distinguish the one from the other, he could let him have the elder Princess and half the kingdom; as for himself, he thought, the other half was quite enough.

Who acts: Minnikin, cause, one, King, other half · What happens: walk, think, come, have, be, distinguish · To what, where: mind, brother, one, King, elder Princess
