The Jade Story Book; Stories from the Orient, Opening, part 19, sentence 103

When the wizard saw that he had failed to kill either of his pursuers, he saw that he would have to use his magic power in order to save himself, so he stretched forth his wand, and there came a great wave which engulfed Janqwi’s army and the two young generals.

Who acts: wizard, great wave · What happens: see, fail, not kill, have, use, save · To what, where: either, magic power, wizard, wand, great wave, army · Speech: someone speaks here
