The Violet Fairy Book, The Prince Who Wanted to See the World, sentence 81

They rode on and on and on, till they reached the end of the world, where the prince lived, and leaving the girl in an inn he went himself to the palace to ask leave of his father to present her to him as his bride; but in his joy at seeing his family once more he forgot all about her, and even listened when the king spoke of arranging a marriage for him.

Who acts: feelings, prince, king · What happens: ride on, reach, live, leave, go, ask · To what, where: joy, end, girl, inn, prince, palace · Speech: someone speaks here
