Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 3, sentence 27

But when the widow came, she told him that she had played this trick because she wanted to gain an audience with him; and she spoke so cleverly, and pleased him so well with her cunning words, that instead of punishing her, the Raja married her, and made her his Ranee, and she and her daughter came to live in the palace.

Who acts: widow, woman, Raja · What happens: come, tell, play, want, gain, speak · To what, where: Prudhan, trick, audience, woman, Ranee, palace · Speech: someone speaks here
