Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 4, sentence 57

All round the trees were the genii fast asleep; nevertheless, there were such countless thousands of them, that it would have been quite impossible for any one to walk through their ranks to the place; down swooped the strong-winged eaglets--down jumped the Prince; in an instant he had overthrown the six chattees full of water, and seized the little green parrot, which he rolled up in his cloak; while, as he mounted again into the air, all the genii below awoke, and finding their treasure gone, set up a wild and melancholy howl.

Who acts: genii, such countless thousands, heat, one, Prince · What happens: be, walk, swoop, wing, jump, overthrow · To what, where: ranks, winged eaglets, Prince, six chattees, instant, little green parrot
