Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 13, sentence 35

But on the way the son of seven Queens looked in on the Princess, just to tell her how he came to be delayed, and she, after reading the message on the potsherd, gave him another in its stead; so that when the lad reached the old hag's hut and asked her for the Jogi's cow, she could not refuse, but told the boy how to find it; and bidding him of all things not to be afraid of the eighteen thousand demons who kept watch and ward over the treasure, told him to be off before she became too angry at her daughter's foolishness in thus giving away so many good things.

Who acts: son, thirteen, lad, thousand demons · What happens: look, tell, come, be, read, give · To what, where: thirteen, message, potsherd, another, son, stead · Speech: someone speaks here
