Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 3, sentence 17

So, when he found the mud mixed up with his dinner, he thought it must arise from their carelessness, as it did not seem likely that any one should have put mud there on purpose; but being very kind he did not like to reprove them for it, although this spoiling of the curry was repeated many successive days.

Who acts: Prudhan, dinner, it, curry · What happens: find, mix up, think, arise, not seem, put · To what, where: mud, carelessness, one, purpose, daughters, spoiling · Speech: someone speaks here
