The Yellow Fairy Book, The Witch and Her Servants(22), part 1, sentence 57

It was only on the next day that they missed him; the King was very distressed at his disappearance, and sent search-parties all over the kingdom to look for him, but in vain; and after six months they gave him up as dead, and in another six months they had forgotten all about him.

Who acts: horse, purses, King · What happens: be, miss, distress, send, look, give up · To what, where: King, disappearance, search parties, next day
