Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 13, sentence 48

She sent for him to ask how he had returned so soon, and when she heard how kindly her mother had received him, she very nearly had a fit; however, she dissembled her feelings as well as she could, and, smiling sweetly, said she was glad to have been able to fulfil her promise, and that if he would give her this third pigeon, she would do yet more for him than she had done before, by giving him the million-fold rice, which ripens in one night.

Who acts: One, lad, mother, fold rice · What happens: send, ask, return, hear, receive, have · To what, where: lad, fit, feelings, promise, third pigeon, One · Speech: someone speaks here
