Indian Fairy Tales, XXV. the Demon With the Matted Hair., sentence 13

There can be little doubt that the Jataka of Prince Five Weapons came to Africa, possibly by Buddhist missionaries, spread among the negroes, and then took ship in the holds of slavers for the New World, where it is to be found in fuller form than any yet discovered in the home of its birth.

Who acts: little doubt, Jataka, fuller form · What happens: be, come, spread, take, find, discover · To what, where: little doubt, Africa, Buddhist missionaries, negroes, ship, slavers
