The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 15, sentence 58

The king sorrowed bitterly over this, because the youngest prince was his dearest son, and the joy over the treasures soon died away, for the bird Grip would not sing so that the king might recover his sight, the princess wept night and day, and no one dared to venture so close to the horse as to have a look at his golden shoes.

Who acts: king, youngest prince, joy, bird Grip, princess, one · What happens: sorrow, be, die away, not sing, recover, weep · To what, where: this, dearest son, sight, look, golden shoes
