The Violet Fairy Book, The Goat’s Ears of the Emperor Trojan, sentence 25

Then the emperor commanded his coach to be made ready, and he took the youth with him, and they drove to the spot, for he wished to see for himself whether the young man’s confession was true; but when they reached the place only one stem was left.

Who acts: emperor, flutes, confession, young man · What happens: command, make, take, drive, wish, see · To what, where: coach, youth, spot, place, one stem · Speech: someone speaks here
