Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 1, sentence 102

Here he found four fakirs whose teacher and master had died, and had left four things,--a bed, which carried whoever sat on it whithersoever he wished to go; a bag, that gave its owner whatever he wanted, jewels, food, or clothes; a stone bowl that gave its owner as much water as he wanted, no matter how far he might be from a tank; and a stick and rope, to which its owner had only to say, if any one came to make war on him, "Stick, beat as many men and soldiers as are here," and the stick would beat them and the rope would tie them up.

Who acts: son, teacher, four things, whoever, bag, stone bowl · What happens: find, die, leave, carry, sit, wish · To what, where: four fakirs, four things, owner, whatever, matter, tank · Speech: someone speaks here
