The Violet Fairy Book, The Prince Who Wanted to See the World, sentence 7

When there was absolutely nothing left at the bottom of the bag, the stranger proposed that they should have just one more game, and that if the prince won he should have the money restored to him, but in case he lost, should remain in the inn for three years, and besides that should be his servant for another three.

Who acts: nothing, cards, prince, that · What happens: be, leave, propose, have, win, restore · To what, where: bottom, one more game, money, prince, inn, servant
