The Yellow Fairy Book, The Flower Queen’s Daughter(23), sentence 22

Then it dawned on the Prince that he had been speaking to a good fairy, and putting the little bell carefully in his pocket, he rode home and told his father that he meant to set the daughter of the Flower Queen free, and intended setting out on the following day into the wide world in search of the maid.

Who acts: earth, Prince · What happens: dawn, speak, put, ride, tell, mean · To what, where: little bell, pocket, father, daughter, wide world, maid · Speech: someone speaks here
