Indian Fairy Tales, XI. Harisarman., sentence 9

The usual form of discovery of the thieves is for the Dr. Knowall to have so many days given him to discover the thieves, and at the end of the first day he calls out, "There's one of them," meaning the days, just as one of the thieves peeps through at him.

Who acts: usual form, many days, Dr., one · What happens: be, give, discover, call out, mean, peep · To what, where: Dr., thieves, discovery · Speech: someone speaks here
